Design in Coronado, CA.
Design for Coronado homes, done by licensed San Diego County technicians. Full yard redesigns are where we do the most design-forward work. We walk the property, measure, build a drawn plan with plant list and estimate, then install: grading, soil prep, planting, drip irrigation, mulch, and finish.
Why is design different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal designs balance salt-tolerance, wind resistance, and the ocean view lines. Plant palette leans Mediterranean — Westringia, Leucadendron, Agave — with low-growing groundcover to preserve sight lines.
What's included in design in Coronado?
- On-site walkthrough and yard measurement (front, side, back)
- Scaled drawing with plant list, irrigation zones, and hardscape elements
- Plant selection matched to sun exposure, soil, and water budget
- Grading and drainage design (swales, dry creek beds, French drains as needed)
- Bed shaping with steel, concrete, or wood edging
- Drip and low-volume irrigation zoning
- Tree, shrub, and groundcover planting with staking and mulch
- Finish hardscape touches — stepping stones, pathways, accent boulders
When does a Coronado home need design?
- New construction or a major addition and the yard is bare
- Existing yard is tired, overgrown, or a patchwork of past decisions
- Selling within a year and want to raise curb-appeal value
- Pool was just installed and the surround needs finish landscaping
- Your HOA wants an improvement plan and sign-off before you proceed
- You want a yard that works — not just a plant list from the nursery

Why does the Coastal region matter for this service?
Coastal designs balance salt-tolerance, wind resistance, and the ocean view lines. Plant palette leans Mediterranean — Westringia, Leucadendron, Agave — with low-growing groundcover to preserve sight lines.
What's the design fee, and is it worth it?
We charge $600-$1,400 for a scaled plan, plant list, and itemized estimate. That fee credits 100% toward the install if you move forward with us. Worth it when you are spending $8K+, because a bad plant pick in SD dies in year two and you pay twice.
How long does a full install take?
3-5 days for a front yard (1,000-1,500 sq ft), 5-10 days for a full property with grading and hardscape. We stage by zone so most of the yard stays usable during the install.
