Working in San Mateo

Climate & hardiness zone

San Mateo sits in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 10a, with minimum temperatures of 30–35°F. Zone 10a sits at the edge of frost risk — rare but possible, meaning irrigation systems need winterization readiness even if they rarely need it. The mild climate supports an enormous range of plant material, but summer fog patterns, coastal wind exposure, and microclimate variation within a single neighborhood can dramatically change what thrives. Local experience matters here more than in more uniform climates.
