Gardens that Thrive on the Rain We Actually Get.
Landscape design and install for San Diego properties. We specialise in sloped lots, water-wise planting, and the stone and timber work that makes a hillside garden last decades.
Terraced and sloped lots
Drought-tolerant planting
In-house stone and timber
// Capabilities
Build the Outdoor Room
Five services that cover the work San Diego properties actually need. We do not do weekly mowing.
No. 01
Terraced Garden Design
Full design and install for sloped lots. Retaining walls in stone or board-formed concrete, planting tuned to each terrace's micro-climate, irrigation tucked under the surface.
No. 02
Drought-Tolerant Planting
Native and Mediterranean planting palettes designed to look right and survive on the rain we actually get. Year-one warranty on every plant we install.
No. 03
Stone and Timber Hardscape
Stone paths, dry-stack walls, redwood pergolas, and outdoor kitchens. Crafted in-house by our hardscape crew, not subcontracted.
No. 04
Dry Creek Beds and Drainage
Functional drainage solutions that look intentional. Dry creek beds, French drains tucked into beds, and infiltration galleries for the heaviest storms.
No. 05
Quarterly Garden Care
Established gardens still need attention. Quarterly visits to prune, edit, refresh mulch, and tune the irrigation. Lighter touch than weekly maintenance.

"Hired Terrace for a full hillside redesign with three retaining walls and a dry creek bed. They walked the slope, did the drainage calc, and built the walls themselves. Two winters in, no movement, no settlement. Worth the premium over the lower bids."
K., La Jolla
"Designed a drought-tolerant palette for the front yard. They sourced plants we had never seen, installed in a week, and gave a one-year warranty in writing. Eighteen months later only one plant has needed replacing and they handled it the same week we called."
M., Del Mar
"Built a board-formed concrete planter wall and a redwood pergola. The craftsmanship is genuinely artwork-level. Neighbors ask for the contractor on a weekly basis. Quoted fairly, finished on time, no surprises."
J., Encinitas
"Quarterly garden care for a side-yard installed three years ago. Same crew every visit, prune what needs pruning, edit what's overcrowded, leave the rest. The garden has never looked better than it does in year three."
S., Point Loma
