Design & Planting
California Native Plant Landscaping in San Diego, CA
Gardens built around plants that already belong here — lower water use once established, better support for local pollinators, and a look that's distinctly Southern California.
Why Native
Plants that are built for this climate
California native plants evolved for exactly the conditions San Diego yards deal with: long dry stretches, occasional heavy rain, and rocky or clay-heavy soil. Once established, they typically need far less supplemental water than non-native ornamentals, and they support local birds, bees, and butterflies in a way imported species can't.
We design native gardens that still feel intentional and layered — not just a scattering of plants left to fend for themselves.
