Design in Warner Springs, CA.
Design for Warner Springs homes, done by experienced San Diego County landscapers. Full yard redesigns are where we do the most design-forward work. We walk the property, measure, build a drawn plan with plant list and estimate, then install: grading, soil prep, planting, drip irrigation, mulch, and finish.
Why is design different in Mountain San Diego?
Mountain designs must account for defensible space (CAL FIRE zones), wildlife pressure (deer, rabbits, gophers), and slower establishment. Plant palette is largely native and fire-resilient.

Warner Springs is a small mountain community on SR-79 at ~3,000 ft with freeze nights in winter, hot summers, and 15-18" annual rainfall. Pacific Crest Trail trailhead and historic ranch resort anchor the area. Native mountain plantings, fire-zone fuel management, and rural-property maintenance lead the scope.. Mountain designs must account for defensible space (CAL FIRE zones), wildlife pressure (deer, rabbits, gophers), and slower establishment.
What's the design fee, and is it worth it?
We charge $600-$1,400 for a scaled plan, plant list, and itemized estimate. That fee credits 100% toward the install if you move forward with us. Worth it when you are spending $8K+, because a bad plant pick in SD dies in year two and you pay twice.
How long does a full install take?
3-5 days for a front yard (1,000-1,500 sq ft), 5-10 days for a full property with grading and hardscape. We stage by zone so most of the yard stays usable during the install.
