Katharine Webster Inc. San Francisco-based landscape design firm, specializing in the custom creation of outdoor living exp

Bringing East Coast sophistication to the West Coast wild, one’s more likely to find this CEO amongst the succulents, than in a boardroom. With a degree in Environmental Sculpture, and a Masters degree in Landscape Architecture from Harvard, Katharine Webster is transforming the way we experience outdoor living. Her vision of what exterior design should entail, mixed with a passion for innovative

product creation, has led her on a mission to forever blur the lines between interior and alfresco living spaces. Whether influenced by her international upbringing, a brief stint on Wall Street or her apprenticeship with famed sculptor Jackie Winsor, this beguiling nature enthusiast relishes in finding elegant solutions to tricky situations. "In order to realize my vision, if I need a certain table or chair, which has yet to exist on the market, I simply create and produce them. Fulfillment of the creative process is the veranda of freedom." Forever flourishing, Katharine is an expert at bringing unlikely tones, textures and themes together, making for amazing visual feasts, where utility, comfort, and fun are always key ingredients to her expression. This unique ability to draw from many influences and create exotic combinations, has manifest itself through her firm, which specializes in re-imagining nature's living rooms, by using an innovative, multi- disciplinary approach. Like her awe inspiring environmental sculptures, Katharine Webster is truly a one of a kind, who has risen like a sunflower to become a leader in the outdoor living revolution.

This is what Pop and I look like after a 12-hour journey to a remote island in eastern Canada where the family home is accessible only by boat.
We are all smiles through the exhaustion to be back in a place that resonates deep in our bones and our family psyche.
My forebears found this special place in 1893 and created a lasting legacy for the generations to follow.
For me it’s a place to disconnect with the noise of the world while immersing in nature and strengthening family connections.
The lapping of the lake water against granite, the scent of pine needles baked in the sun, the calls of the loons, the wind in the trees, the sun setting over the water, the stacks of well worn books, the light slanting in off the lake…
These sights, smells and sounds are elemental for me. They nourish me for the work ahead and remind me why I do what I do.

At this time of year it’s all about getting outdoors, even in the city.
Smart landscape design in a backyard garden in San Francisco makes the most of a tight property line and takes advantage of the lot’s topography. It creates the perfect setup for al fresco entertaining.
Happy 4th of July!

This Sausalito home has a parking area with carport at the rear of the garden, creating an opportunity for a dining patio with custom steel planters and outdoor lighting.
An APLD Award winner, this is a harmoniously designed space where one can’t help but slow down and take a calming breath.

We love designing custom steel planters then filling them with varied textures and shades of greens.
It’s a way to soften outdoor hardscape while still having some crisp, clean edges and pleasing contrasts.
