You’ll finally have the outdoor space that matches your vision and your property’s potential. No more looking at that blank yard wondering what could be. No more worrying about plant choices that won’t survive the coastal fog or summer drought.
Your new landscape will work with Moss Beach’s unique climate—not against it. Native plants that thrive in marine air. Drainage solutions that handle winter rains. Design elements that complement your home’s architecture while capturing those stunning ocean views.
The result? A space where you actually want to spend time. Where entertaining feels natural. Where your property value reflects the investment you’ve made in one of California’s most desirable coastal communities.
Lakota Design Group has been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975. We understand what works in Moss Beach’s coastal microclimate—from dealing with persistent marine layer conditions to selecting plants that thrive in sandy, salt-influenced soils.
This isn’t a company learning on your property. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects throughout the Bay Area, working with everyone from tech executives in Silicon Valley to artists and retirees who’ve chosen Moss Beach for its natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere.
Our family-operated approach means you’re working with people who’ve built our reputation on personal relationships and quality craftsmanship, not a corporate machine that treats your project like just another number.
Everything starts with an in-person consultation at your Moss Beach property. We listen to your vision, assess your site conditions, and understand how you want to use your outdoor space. No generic solutions—every design reflects your lifestyle and your property’s unique characteristics.
Next comes the design phase using cutting-edge 3D technology that lets you see exactly what your finished landscape will look like. You’ll walk through your future space virtually, making adjustments until everything feels perfect. This eliminates surprises and ensures you’re completely confident before construction begins.
The construction phase is where our project management experience really shows. Daily updates keep you informed. Guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in the landscaping industry. Our vetted contractors handle installation while we oversee every detail, so you don’t have to manage multiple moving parts.

Your Moss Beach landscape design includes everything needed for a successful project. Site surveys capture exact dimensions, elevations, and drainage patterns crucial for coastal properties. Plant selection focuses on species that thrive in coastal conditions—native California plants that handle marine air, drought-tolerant varieties that survive summer water restrictions, and specimens that complement the area’s natural aesthetic.
Hardscape elements are designed for both beauty and function in Moss Beach’s unique environment. Patios and walkways use materials that weather gracefully in salt air. Drainage solutions prevent winter runoff issues common in coastal properties. Lighting systems extend your outdoor enjoyment while highlighting architectural features and mature plantings.
The process includes comprehensive project management from start to finish. We coordinate with contractors, handle permits, manage timelines, and ensure quality standards. If you choose one of our licensed contractors for installation, your design cost is credited back—making professional landscape architecture essentially free when you move forward with construction.
Moss Beach’s unique microclimate requires specific plant selections that can handle marine layer fog, salt air, and summer drought conditions. Native California plants perform exceptionally well here—species like California lilac, lavender, and ornamental grasses that have evolved to thrive in coastal environments.
Drought-tolerant Mediterranean plants also excel in Moss Beach. These include rosemary, sage, and olive trees that handle both the wet winters and dry summers. Succulents work beautifully for modern designs, requiring minimal water while providing year-round structure and color.
The key is understanding your property’s specific microclimates. Areas closer to the ocean experience more fog and cooler temperatures, while inland sections may be warmer and drier. We evaluate these conditions to select plants that will thrive in each zone of your property.
Coastal properties in Moss Beach often face unique drainage challenges due to clay soils, slope conditions, and heavy winter rains. Proper grading is essential—water needs to move away from your home’s foundation while preventing erosion on slopes.
French drains and dry creek beds are effective solutions that also add visual interest to your landscape. These features channel water safely while creating natural-looking elements that complement Moss Beach’s coastal aesthetic. Permeable paving materials allow rainwater to infiltrate naturally rather than creating runoff.
Plant selection plays a crucial role in drainage management. Deep-rooted native plants help stabilize soil and absorb excess water. Strategic placement of trees and shrubs can slow water flow on slopes while creating natural retention areas. The goal is working with your property’s natural water patterns rather than fighting against them.
Most Moss Beach landscape design projects follow a predictable timeline when properly managed. The design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks, including initial consultation, site survey, concept development, and 3D visualization. This allows time for revisions to ensure the final design perfectly matches your vision.
Construction timelines vary based on project scope, but most residential landscapes are completed within 2-4 weeks once work begins. Larger projects involving extensive hardscaping, irrigation systems, or mature tree installation may require 4-6 weeks. Weather conditions can affect timing, particularly during Moss Beach’s rainy season from November through April.
The advantage of working with experienced professionals is guaranteed start and completion dates—something rare in the landscaping industry. Proper project management, established contractor relationships, and detailed planning eliminate the delays and uncertainty that plague many landscape projects.
Landscape design investment varies based on property size, project complexity, and design requirements. Most Moss Beach residential design projects range from $3,000 to $8,000 for comprehensive plans including site analysis, detailed drawings, plant specifications, and 3D visualization.
The key consideration is value—professional design prevents costly mistakes during installation. Proper plant selection, drainage solutions, and hardscape placement save thousands in replacement costs and potential property damage. Additionally, well-designed landscapes significantly increase property values in Moss Beach’s premium real estate market.
Many clients find the design investment pays for itself through the construction process. When you choose one of our licensed contractors for installation, the design fee is credited back to you, essentially making professional landscape design free when you move forward with the complete project.
Absolutely. Many Moss Beach properties have established trees, mature shrubs, or existing hardscape elements worth preserving. The key is evaluating what’s healthy and valuable versus what needs replacement or removal.
Mature trees are often the most valuable landscape feature—providing immediate scale, privacy, and property value that would take decades to recreate. Our design process identifies which existing plants complement your new vision and which detract from it. Sometimes selective removal opens up sight lines or creates space for new features while preserving the best existing elements.
Integration is crucial for natural-looking results. New plantings are selected to complement existing mature specimens in terms of scale, color, and seasonal interest. Hardscape additions are positioned to work with established root systems and drainage patterns. The goal is creating a cohesive design that looks like it evolved naturally over time.
The combination of 50 years Bay Area experience, 3D design technology, and guaranteed project timelines sets our approach apart. Most landscape designers provide drawings and leave you to manage construction. Our full-service approach includes project management from initial consultation through final installation.
Our 3D visualization technology eliminates guesswork—you see exactly what your finished landscape will look like before construction begins. This prevents expensive changes during installation and ensures complete satisfaction with the final result. Most designers still rely on 2D drawings that are difficult for homeowners to interpret.
Local expertise makes a significant difference in plant selection, drainage solutions, and design approaches that work specifically in Moss Beach’s coastal environment. This isn’t generic landscaping—it’s design tailored to your property’s unique conditions and the area’s natural aesthetic. The goal is creating landscapes that feel like they belong in this special coastal community.
