Boxleaf is a full-service landscape architecture firm designing properties for clients who cherish their land.
Founded in San Francisco in 2012 by Sarah and Steve Warto, our practice later established roots in Redwood City, California. The Boxleaf team blends creative, out-of-the-box vision with technical rigor, guiding complex projects seamlessly from concept through construction.
Rather than following a prescribed style, Boxleaf crafts each landscape to respond authentically to the surroundings, the architecture onsite, and the lifestyle of every unique client family. We are not afraid to get our hands dirty (literally) building landscapes that are as carefully executed as they are thoughtfully designed. Boxleaf believes every project holds the power to connect people with nature’s restorative benefits. That is why we design spaces for gathering, growing, playing, and reflection, creating landscapes meant to be lived in, loved, and enjoyed for generations.
Our mission is simple: listen to the land, listen to our clients, and create landscapes that delight people and enhance ecological resilience—while enjoying every step of the journey.
