San Diego Landscaping Design
Well-designed landscapes will have a balance of hardscapes and softscapes. Smaller backyards should limit the number and size of the structures so the structures do not overwhelm the space.
A good landscaper will know how to select plants so that you can have flowers from early spring to late autumn. In Southern California where drought is an issue, a landscaper should consider using at least some drought-tolerant plants. Another way to save on water is to incorporate more hardscapes and less softscape.
Other considerations for good landscaping design include considering:
- how much time the homeowner will spend on landscape maintenance.
- the topology (hills) of the land
- where the sun rises and sets,
- whether the property is north or south facing,
- which part of the yard has shade and which has sun,
- where to place lights so they are visually pleasing, yet offer safety,
Hardscapes vs Softscapes
Landscaping is a broad term that refers to the development of property through the addition of hardscapes, softscapes, water features, and architectural structures.
Everything else can be categorized as Outdoor Decor. These are smaller, moveable landscaping structures such as statues, birdbaths, benches, potted plants, patio furniture, lighting, and more.
Hardscapes are elements made of stone, tile, concrete, brick, and other hard material. Examples of hardscape include walkways, driveways, retaining walls, stairs, decks, patio covers, and more.
In contrast, softscapes are made of plants. Examples of softscape include trees, shrubs, grass, ground cover, flowers, and other living plants.
Water features are landscaping components that involve water. Examples include waterfalls, water fountains, waterways, pools, ponds, and more.

Customer Reviews
My driveway was left w/ class 2 roadbase as the media for almost a year. Thanks to the pandemic I'd lost my contractor and was at my wits end for how to finish the job. One call to Peter and the job got rolling within 2 weeks. 6 days later, I had a new paver driveway and my neighbors breathed a sigh of relief. Peter provided a reasonable quote a

Not only did Peter install the nicest, synthetic turf and retaining walls for our family… Also by the way, protecting our house, but we highly recommend them forever. To everyone that we meet. They are outstanding. Don’t think twice! They’re not the cheapest, but they are the best.
Allen MattiPeter can make your overgrown weed infested property look amazing again. You have to call them. You just have to! They turned our yard from a weed infested disaster into something that is manageable, thought out, and beautiful.
Brian HustonPeter and his crew transformed our backyard exactly according to our vision! What was once an unusable, weed-filled field is now an inviting oasis of walkways and garden beds. I would highly recommend him and his crew for any landscaping projects.
Pete and his crew did a beautiful job on my complete backyard transformation. He was thorough in discussing materials, design considerations and changes, and pricing. Him and his crew finished ahead of schedule and the results are gorgeous.
