What We Do

A backyard remodel built around how you actually live

A San Diego backyard remodel is more than new plants or a fresh patio. It’s a complete rethinking of how the space works — how it flows, how it holds up to our climate, and how it fits the way your family actually uses the yard. We handle every part of the process in-house, from design through build, so nothing gets lost between a sketch and the finished space. 

Every project starts with a conversation at your property. We want to understand your goals, your budget, and your vision before we put anything on paper.  View all of our landscape design and build services to see the full range of what we offer.

Hardscape & Patios

Pavers, flagstone, concrete, retaining walls, walkways — the bones of the space that define how it flows and feels underfoot.

Planting & Softscape

Drought-tolerant, California native, cottage-style — plants selected for how they’ll look in five years, not just on install day.

Overhead Structures

Custom pergolas, shade sails, and arbors built to create defined outdoor living areas with real shade and real character.

Outdoor Lighting

Low-voltage landscape lighting that extends the space into the evening and highlights the design without overpowering it.

Water Features

Fountains, water features, and dry creek beds that add sound, movement, and a calming focal point to the finished space.

Irrigation & Drainage

Smart irrigation systems and proper drainage planning — the infrastructure that keeps everything else looking good long-term.

How It Works

Our design + build process

We walk the finished space with you, cover irrigation, lighting, and upkeep basics, and answer every question before we call it complete.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does a backyard remodel take?

The design phase typically takes 2–6 weeks, allowing time for consultations, revisions, and finalizing plans. Construction runs 4–12 weeks depending on project size, complexity, and weather conditions. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase so you know what to expect.

Do you handle permits and approvals?

Yes. We handle all necessary permits and approvals to ensure your project complies with local regulations — including grading, electrical, and structural permits. Taking care of this upfront is what keeps projects moving without unexpected delays.

Do I need a design before you can bid the construction?

Yes. A detailed design plan is essential for providing an accurate bid. It outlines materials, labor, and costs while ensuring a cohesive final result — and gives you a clear picture of what to expect throughout the process.

Can you incorporate drought-tolerant or eco-friendly elements?

Yes — this is one of our specialties. We incorporate drought-tolerant plants, California native species, drip irrigation systems, and permeable pavers to reduce water usage and support biodiversity. San Diego’s climate makes water-wise design both practical and beautiful.

Do you offer 3D renderings before construction begins?

Yes. For complex projects with custom features, we offer 3D renderings so you can see the design before anything is built. Seeing the layout in 3D helps make better decisions about materials, placement, and finishes.
