Drought-Tolerant Backyard Planting
Drought-tolerant landscaping is a practical option for San Pedro homeowners who want a beautiful backyard without relying on high-water plants.
Depending on the property, we can incorporate California native plants, drought-tolerant shrubs, ground cover, and other low-maintenance options into new or existing planting areas.
These plants can also be paired with mulch, decorative gravel, decomposed granite, and existing hardscape to create a finished backyard landscape that works well with Southern California’s climate.
Privacy Hedges & Backyard Screening
If you want more privacy in your backyard, hedges and screening plants can create natural separation while adding greenery to the landscape.
They can be planted along property lines and fences or around patios and outdoor living areas to help create a more private setting. This can be especially useful for San Pedro homes with neighboring properties close by or outdoor spaces that feel exposed.
We can help select and place privacy plants based on the available space, desired height, sunlight, and overall landscape.
Plants, Mulch & Walkways
Combining new planting with mulch and walkways can give your backyard a more finished, intentional look while adding color, texture, and definition to the space.
Whether you're refreshing existing landscaping or planning a larger backyard renovation, we can incorporate trees, shrubs, flowering plants, mulch, bark, decorative gravel, and paver walkways to create a landscape that complements your home and is easier to maintain.
