How does our landscape design process work?
Our landscape design process starts with a free consultation at your Crown Point property where we listen to your vision, evaluate your space’s bay exposure, and discuss your budget. We then create a detailed design showing salt-tolerant plants, windbreak placement, and outdoor features, refining it until you’re completely satisfied before any work begins.
During the initial visit, we assess your property’s unique factors – wind patterns, salt exposure, drainage issues, and sandy soil conditions. We’ll discuss how you want to use your outdoor space, storage needs for beach equipment, and style preferences. Our design team then develops a comprehensive plan with material samples suited for coastal conditions, plant suggestions that thrive in salt air, and realistic 3D renderings when needed. We provide transparent pricing with no hidden costs, detailed timelines, and handle all necessary permits for your Crown Point property. You’ll know exactly what to expect before we break ground.
How much does landscaping cost in Crown Point?
Crown Point landscaping projects typically range from $8,000 for basic improvements to $150,000+ for complete waterfront transformations. Small projects like salt-tolerant plantings or irrigation repairs typically start at $3,000-8,000. Mid-size projects such as wind screens or artificial turf typically range from $20,000-40,000. Complete property renovations with multiple features average between $50,000-150,000.
Every property is unique, so we provide detailed quotes after evaluating your specific needs.

For example, a simple drought-tolerant garden conversion might cost $10,000-15,000, while adding an outdoor kitchen with wind protection runs $35,000-50,000. We offer flexible payment options and can phase larger projects to work with your budget. Our transparent pricing includes all materials, labor, and cleanup – no hidden fees or surprise charges.

How do we help Crown Point homeowners save water?
Our water-efficient landscaping solutions help Crown Point homeowners reduce water usage by 30-60% while maintaining beautiful yards. We specialize in smart irrigation systems, salt-tolerant drought-resistant plants, and innovative designs that meet San Diego County’s conservation requirements without sacrificing the coastal aesthetic you want for your property.
Modern irrigation technology makes a huge difference – smart controllers adjust watering based on weather, drip systems deliver water directly to roots avoiding salt buildup, and proper grading prevents runoff into the bay. We’ll audit your existing system for leaks and inefficiencies that waste thousands of gallons annually. Our coastal-appropriate designs incorporate beautiful drought-tolerant plants like New Zealand flax, Mexican sage, and ornamental grasses that thrive in Crown Point’s climate. Many homeowners qualify for rebates through San Diego’s water conservation programs, which we’ll help you navigate. The result is lower water bills and a landscape that stays beautiful even during drought restrictions.
How long does a Crown Point landscaping project take?
Most Crown Point landscaping projects take 1-4 weeks from start to finish, depending on scope.

We understand you want to enjoy your outdoor space as soon as possible. Our process is efficient: design approval takes 3-5 days, permit processing (when required) adds 5-10 business days, and then installation begins.
