Marin’s largest city — sunnier inland pockets alongside older, tree-shaded neighborhoods.
San Rafael sits further from the coast than Mill Valley, which means noticeably less fog and more direct sun in inland neighborhoods like Terra Linda — a different watering and mowing rhythm than the shadier, foggier towns closer to the bay.
Eastern San Rafael neighborhoods run hotter and drier than coastal Marin, which means faster water loss and a program timed closer to a standard dry-summer schedule than the fog-heavy towns nearby.
Same person shows up every week, edges every time, never just mows around things. That consistency alone is worth it in Mill Valley.
They talked us out of a bigger program than we needed and suggested a drip conversion for the beds instead — appreciated the honesty over the upsell.
Aeration in the fall made a bigger difference than I expected, especially near the Ring Mountain side of our lot. Noticeably softer and greener by spring.
