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.

In this private terraced garden in San Francisco, you’d never know that the entire rear yard is built over an existing structure.
Dark textural basalt is combined with gray and white porcelain tile; a Japanese maple in a custom powder-coated metal planter anchors the corner.

It’s the time of year many of us feel that tug, an irrepressible yearning for the summertime places that so strongly influenced us in our formative years.

For Kate Webster it was an island in Canada.

There days were defined by birdsong and the lapping of lake waters, the scent of pine and fir, sand, moss and craggy outcrops, and total immersion in nature.

An opening in the wall reveals a garden oasis beyond.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a garden that grew with the family. We added a stainless steel spa both to enhance the outdoor experience and to ensure that home would remain a key meeting place for teenagers with friends.

Why go out when you can entertain under the stars?

Ferns are so charismatic and textural, they add instant character to any space.
On this patio in Sausalito, they create privacy and exude a feeling of welcome.

Memorial Day Weekend is upon us!
The official start of summer means long leisurely meals outdoors. We love the dappled shade cast on this table in St. Helena.

I think most of us would like to become more charismatic as we age. These mature oaks certainly have. :)
We can’t wait to get working in earnest on this equestrian property in Woodside!
