Drought Tolerant and Waterwise

San Diego possesses a unique climate not seen anywhere outside of the Mediterranean. Our climate supports drought tolerant plant material that not only looks great but drastically reduces water bills. Waterwise landscapes also support fire prevention and we’re proud to specialize in their design and install.

Custom Design and Estimates

Landscape Assistance offers a complete custom design option; whether you utilize us for your outdoor renovation or someone else, the design is yours to keep (cost associated). Custom designs are time intensive and drawn up digitally and occasionally by hand to the dimensions of your home. Every finished design is a road-map to your future outdoor space and piece of art in itself.

A complete estimate takes approximately 5-7 business days to complete. We take into consideration all factors when estimating the cost of your hardscape and/or plant install, including your climate, soil quality and personal taste. See Our Process to learn more.
