How we build landscape lightings
- Low-voltage design with the transformer sized for future expansion
- Fixtures placed to light surfaces and plants, never to shine into eyes
- Direct-burial wire in conduit under hardscape, installed before paving goes down
- Warm color temperature held consistent across the whole property
- Zoning and timer or app control so the yard has more than one lighting mood
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. Salt air destroys cheap aluminum fixtures within a couple of seasons. On coastal lots we spec brass or copper — it is the only thing that lasts.
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
$3,500–$14,000 for a full-yard low-voltage system, depending on fixture count. 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.
