You’re dealing with salt air that kills plants, drainage issues that flood your yard, and water restrictions that limit your options. We get it—Pacifica’s coastal environment isn’t like anywhere else.
When we’re done, you’ll have a stunning landscape that actually thrives in coastal conditions. Your neighbors will ask who did the work. Your property value increases. And you’ll finally have that outdoor space where you can truly relax after those long Silicon Valley commutes.
No more dead plants. No more standing water. No more wondering if your investment is protected. Just a beautiful, functional landscape designed specifically for Pacifica’s unique challenges.
Since 1975, we’ve been solving Pacifica’s toughest landscaping challenges. We’ve completed over 5,000 projects throughout the Bay Area, so we understand exactly what works in your coastal climate and what doesn’t.
While other companies guess, we know. We know which plants survive the salt air. We know how to design drainage that handles your winter storms. We know the permit requirements and soil conditions specific to your area.
Family-operated and locally focused, we’ve built our reputation on personal relationships and guaranteed results. When you’re investing in a million-dollar Pacifica property, you need a landscape designer who understands the stakes.
First, we visit your property for a comprehensive site assessment. We measure everything, analyze your soil and drainage, document sun patterns, and photograph existing conditions. No surprises later.
Next comes the design phase. Using cutting-edge 3D technology, we create realistic visualizations of your future landscape. You’ll see exactly how it looks before we break ground. We revise until it’s perfect.
Then we handle everything. Project management, permits, installation oversight, timeline guarantees. You get daily updates, but you don’t have to manage contractors or worry about delays. We coordinate with our network of licensed professionals who know our standards.
Final walkthrough happens on schedule. We guarantee start and completion dates—something almost nobody else in this industry will do.

Every Pacifica landscape design we create includes coastal-specific plant selection, proper drainage engineering, and salt-tolerant materials. We’re not just making it look good—we’re making it last.
Our designs address Pacifica’s unique challenges: king tides, erosion concerns, and strict water conservation requirements. We use xeriscaping principles and native plants that thrive in your microclimate while meeting county regulations.
You get comprehensive services: site surveys, 3D design renderings, installation management, and ongoing support. Whether you’re in Linda Mar dealing with family-friendly requirements or Pedro Point maximizing those ocean views, we tailor every design to your specific neighborhood and lifestyle needs.
Pacifica’s salty air and strong winds kill most traditional landscaping within a few years. We use proven coastal natives like California Sagebrush, Pacific Coast Iris, and California Poppies that actually thrive in salt spray.
Drought-tolerant options like lavender, rosemary, and ornamental grasses handle both the coastal conditions and water restrictions beautifully. We also incorporate hardscape elements and strategic windbreaks to protect more delicate plants in sheltered microclimates.
After 50 years of Bay Area projects, we know exactly which plants work where. No more replacing dead shrubs every few years—your landscape investment is protected.
Pacifica’s winter storms and sloped terrain create serious drainage challenges that most contractors ignore until it’s too late. We engineer proper drainage into every design from the beginning.
This includes strategic grading, French drain installation, and permeable hardscape materials that prevent water buildup. We also incorporate bioswales and rain gardens that manage runoff naturally while adding beauty to your landscape.
Our approach protects your home’s foundation, prevents erosion, and eliminates those frustrating puddles that never seem to dry. Proper drainage isn’t optional in Pacifica—it’s essential for long-term success.
Absolutely. We design every Pacifica project to meet current water restrictions while exceeding HOA aesthetic standards. Our xeriscaping techniques can reduce water usage by up to 50% without sacrificing beauty.
We’re familiar with local regulations, permit requirements, and HOA guidelines throughout Pacifica’s different neighborhoods. From Linda Mar’s family-friendly standards to Pedro Point’s architectural requirements, we navigate the approval process smoothly.
Smart irrigation systems, native plant selection, and efficient design principles ensure your landscape stays compliant while looking incredible. You get beauty and responsibility in one package.
Our 3D design process creates photorealistic renderings of your future landscape using actual site measurements and photos. You’ll see exactly how your space will look, including plant maturity, lighting effects, and seasonal changes.
We include multiple design options, detailed plant schedules, and installation timelines. If you proceed with our recommended contractors, your design cost is fully refunded. No hidden fees or surprises.
Project management covers everything: permits, contractor coordination, material delivery, quality control, and timeline enforcement. You get daily updates and direct access to our project manager, but you don’t have to manage the details yourself.
Most residential projects take 4-8 weeks from design approval to completion, depending on scope and permit requirements. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates—rare in this industry.
Design phase typically takes 2-3 weeks including revisions. Installation timing depends on project complexity, but we coordinate everything to minimize disruption to your daily routine.
Weather delays are factored into our timelines since we understand Pacifica’s seasonal patterns. We schedule around your needs and provide realistic expectations upfront, not optimistic guesses that lead to disappointment.
Pacifica’s coastal environment is unforgiving to DIY mistakes. Wrong plant choices die quickly in salt air. Poor drainage causes expensive foundation problems. Improper grading creates erosion issues that cost thousands to fix later.
We bring 50 years of local expertise, established contractor relationships, and bulk purchasing power that saves you money. Our designs include proper engineering for drainage, wind protection, and soil amendments specific to your site.
Professional installation includes warranties, permits handled correctly, and project management that keeps everything on schedule. When you’re protecting a million-dollar property investment, the expertise pays for itself many times over.
