How we build landscape designs
- Site walk, measurements, grade and drainage assessment before anything is drawn
- Concept plan with circulation, outdoor rooms and sightlines resolved
- Material palette and plant palette selected for the specific exposure of your lot
- Irrigation, lighting and drainage planned as part of the design, not added later
- Construction-ready drawings the same team then builds
What the ground is like in Point Loma
Sandstone and shale close to the surface on the peninsula ridge, with sandier soil toward Ocean Beach. Hand-dug footings are common where equipment cannot reach. Design here is about wind, salt and views. Where you sit, what blocks the wind, and what stays below the sightline drive the whole plan.
Climate and exposure
Wind is the defining factor. Bay-side yards are calmer and warmer; ocean-side yards get salt spray and sustained afternoon wind that shreds soft-leaved plants. We match materials, finishes and plant choices to that exposure instead of installing the same package across every zip code in the county.
Working on Point Loma properties
Narrow lots with alley access on many streets, plus stepped rear yards that need retaining before they can be used. Access dictates equipment, equipment dictates schedule, and we price both honestly before you sign anything.
Approvals and permitting in City of San Diego
Airport Land Use height limits apply in parts of the peninsula, and coastal height limits cap what can be built above grade. City of San Diego permits. Retaining over 3 feet, drainage discharge and grading near the bluff edge typically trigger review.
Budget range in Point Loma
Design fees typically $2,500–$9,500 depending on scope, credited toward the build. Run your own numbers with the San Diego cost calculator — it accounts for access, soil and finish level, which is where Point Loma projects diverge from the county average.
