Front Yard Remodeling

It’s common for the front yard of a home to be underused. We’re here to change that, and prove that front yards can be a wonderful welcoming space. We love integrating drought resistant landscaping and hardscaping ideas to the front yard of San Diego homes.

A Social Front Yard Remodel

It’s possible to create a front yard remodel that brings social elements to life. This can include front yard custom barbeque islands and grills, dining areas, outdoor living rooms with covered patios and even televisions.

As water costs for most homeowners continue to rise in our area, we are seeing more and more people switch to drought resistant landscaping designs. These often include artificial grass, sand, rocks, and native plants whenever possible. Incorporating native plants can reduce water consumption and attract local wildlife. Solar-powered lights are both eco-friendly and cost-effective. With turf installation, it’s great to be able to easily and affordably maintain green grass year-round. We also handle hardscaping needs, such as driveway paving, walkways, walls, planters, and more.

Our project manager will come out to your home and provide a free estimate, as well as consult on design ideas, material options, and any other questions you may have.

Landscaping is primarily about the living elements of your yard. This includes grass, trees, shrubs, flowers, and other plants. When thoughtfully designed, these elements can turn any ordinary front yard into a dynamic and living piece of art.

• Lawns: A lush green lawn can be the pride of homeowners. But in San Diego, it’s nearly impossible to maintain without spending lots on water and maintenance. For those in drought-prone areas, consider drought-resistant grass varieties or even synthetic grass for a low-maintenance solution.
• Trees: They not only offer shade and visual appeal but can also increase property value. When selecting trees, consider their full-grown size, root spread, and maintenance needs.
• Flowerbeds: Whether perennial or annual, flowers bring color and vibrancy. Layering flowers by height and blooming season ensures a full season of color. Ask about our custom planters for your front yard and/or driveway.
• Shrubs: These are the middle ground in your landscape design. They can be used as borders, screens, or focal points.
• Sand or Mulch: Mulching flower beds and around trees retains moisture, inhibits weed growth, and adds a finished look.

While landscaping deals with the soft and living elements, hardscaping focuses on the non-living features made of concrete, brick, stone, wood, and other hard materials. Properly integrated hardscaping elements add structure, function, and sophistication.

1. Walkways & Pathways: Direct traffic and add elegance. From stepping stones to brick paths, the choices are varied.
2. Patios: Even a small front yard can feature a cozy patio space. It’s a perfect spot for a couple of chairs and a bistro table.
3. Driveways: No longer just functional, driveways can be aesthetically pleasing. Consider stamped concrete, paver designs, or borders for added elegance.
4. Front Yard Retaining Walls: For sloped front yards, retaining walls can create level spaces for planting and can also act as a decorative feature.
5. Water Features: Fountains or ponds in the front yard are eye-catching and create a soothing ambiance.
6. Lighting: Illuminate pathways, highlight trees, or create ambiance with varied lighting options.

Integrating Landscaping and Hardscaping into San Diego Front Yards

A balanced integration of both landscaping and hardscaping creates a cohesive design. Enjoy these free tips:

• Use hardscape features to create boundaries or delineate different sections of the yard.
• Soften the look of retaining walls or pathways by flanking them with shrubs or trailing plants.
• Place plant beds in strategic places around hardscape features to bring warmth and softness.
• Choose materials and colors that complement the exterior of your home.
• Permeable pavers for driveways or pathways allow water to seep through, reducing runoff.
