San Diego’s Landscape

San Diego’s Landscape

ow’s the time to start planning next year’s home improvement projects, and today we’d like to give a little bit of focus to the oft-overlooked aspect of home ownership, the landscaping. All too often, people just have a spit of grass, some overgrown and poorly trimmed shrubbery on the periphery of their homes and call it a day, choosing to focus instead on the internal aesthetic of the home.

This is a major mistake, though. Nothing makes a home look less appealing on first glance than poor and lazy landscaping, though, not to mention all of the time you could be spending enjoying the amazing weather here in southern California but can’t because your yard is a total mess.

Alright, so you know you need to get it done – that’s a good first step. What’s next? Well, that’s obvious – you call the guys who are the best at not only doing the landscaping, but helping you plan it.

That means (if you’re in the San Diego area) calling Torrey Pines Landscaping company, the best of the best in our neck of the woods and beyond. Their projects are world renowned and have been winning awards for the better part of a decade now.

If you need proof, check out a couple of their projects, like this Del Mar backyard design or this Coronado landscape design and implementation. Better yet, take a look at some of their socials, where they have a perfect 5-star rating everywhere you care to look:

“Last fall we contacted Harry Thompson to redo our backyard.  After considering a few other companies, we decided to go with TP Landscape Co.  Harry was thorough, knowledgeable and listened to all our concerns/requests.  I must say this was a big investment for us, but definitely worthwhile.  

In the end, we were very pleased with the overall outcome, and just in time for Thanksgiving!   His crew was respectful, hard-working and cleaned up at the end of each day.  Dave, his project supervisor, was great to work with.  You can tell he has a nice working relationship with the crew and clear communication with them.  

Thank you TP Landscape Company for our new beautiful, tropical oasis!  We look forward to firing up our built-in BBQ and fire pit.  Also, it’s nice to know that you guys check up on us periodically to make sure things (sprinklers/timers/etc) are working as they should.”

“Our backyard garden remodel just recently was completed by Torrey Pines Landscape and we could not be more thrilled with the execution and the final result! Harry Thompson and his crew designed our dream backyard and made it a reality. Our space is on a city-sized lot in the Banker’s Hill area and he addressed every challenge our space presented. The entire crew was completely respectful of our privacy, maintaining our security of our yard and keeping the site neat and tidy at the end of each day. Every day, either Harry or Mark would come and check in on the progress of the project and Harry had the crew rebuild part of our custom fountain because he was not satisfied with how it looked initially! Dave, the project supervisor was fantastic to work with and provided valuable insight for things concerning the BBQ island and how the layout would work best. Every single detail was considered, from dog-friendly plants to lighting. I can not recommend them highly enough, they are true craftsmen and if you can dream it, they can create it!”

If you need desperate assistance in getting your yard looking presentable and have either a basic idea or a grand scheme for the future, give Torrey Pines a call. They have a habit of making dreams come true with their work.

Delight Your Party Guests With A Zesty New Backyard

Delight Your Party Guests With A Zesty New Backyard

The true essence of summers is in making the most out of the bright and happy season by spending it with family and friends. For those who always relish in the experience of being the host, it is now your time to let the creative juices flow and orchestrate the most astounding barbeque parties. If you have a patio in your backyard, it can be easily transformed into an outdoor kitchen as well, setting an alluring stage for the party. With the trend of Outdoor Kitchens becoming increasingly popular in San Diego, we wanted to discuss some ideas on turning your backyard into the ultimate kitchen and dining patio.

The ideal backyard provides plenty of room for cooking, socializing, and playing. A professional landscape designer will start by assessing your space. They will provide recommendations that may include arrangements on replacing the pavement or deck. For those who are looking for a Landscaping expert who specializes in outdoor kitchens in La Jolla, we recommend Torrey Pines Landscaping Company. When it comes to client satisfaction, they have an excellent reputation for hitting the nail on the head. You can take a look at their website for a portfolio of the various projects that they have completed in the past, as well as the range of services they offer, including design, build, and maintenance.

If there is enough space, you would be crazy not to install an island and grill. If you have an old grill that was once upon a time chucked into the garage or storage room, consider buying a new one. An alternative would be to spruce up the grill by installing a platform and glamorizing it with stone or brick, giving it an enhanced, modern appeal. A barbecue and bar will offer plenty for the guests to serve themselves with a nice juicy burger and a drink or two.

Consider adding more functionality to the backyard. Shelves are useful for storing outdoor cooking essentials. The kitchen can be covered by a pergola to give it a welcoming and cozy feel. You have plenty of options, but keep in mind that space shouldn’t be overcrowded. 

The kitchen must be situated in a way that gives way to the natural flow and dynamic of the backyard. It should allow people to move freely while appearing balanced and symmetrical. This way, the view of the natural surroundings will not be compromised from any angle whatsoever, offering guests a view of everything surrounding your home, from the inside out.

One of the hottest trends lately is fusing unalike textures and materials. Gone are the days when combining different patterns and materials together was considered too wacky. In the present day, the more eclectic, the more alluring and interesting a space seems. In a patio-turned-kitchen especially, having seemingly opposite textures and components co-exist with one another will enhance its charm, offering your guests a subtle hint of versatility. For instance, imagine having stainless steel appliances, white crockery, brick floors, stone counters, and redwood furnishings; this can be a game-changer.

If you are thinking about taking your backyard to the next level, considering calling one of the best landscapers in town:
