Landscape Design in Del Mar
Elegant gardens and outdoor living spaces where the turf meets the surf
Del Mar
Where coastal elegance meets the natural landscape
Del Mar is a village defined by its relationship to the ocean — from the bluff-top estates overlooking Torrey Pines State Beach to the charming cottages nestled along Camino Del Mar. Its landscapes should reflect that same understated sophistication. We design gardens and outdoor spaces that embrace Del Mar's coastal conditions: persistent ocean breezes, salt-laden air, sandy soils, and the privileged views that make this community unlike any other.
Whether you're shaping a bluff-top estate with sweeping Pacific vistas or crafting an intimate courtyard garden steps from the Del Mar Village center, we bring deep local knowledge and a design sensibility calibrated to this iconic coastal setting.
Our Approach
Designed for the bluffs and beyond
Bluff-Top Gardens
Wind-resilient, salt-tolerant plantings designed to thrive on Del Mar's exposed coastal bluffs while preserving panoramic ocean views.
Coastal Erosion Solutions
Deep-rooting native ground covers, retaining structures, and drainage strategies that stabilize Del Mar's sandy bluffs and hillside lots.
Entertaining Landscapes
Sophisticated outdoor living rooms, dining terraces, and fire features designed for Del Mar's year-round al fresco lifestyle.
The Neighborhood
An iconic coastal village
Perched between La Jolla and Solana Beach along San Diego's North County coast, Del Mar is a community where the Del Mar Racetrack, Torrey Pines State Beach, and Dog Beach at the rivermouth define the rhythm of life. Its bluff-top estates, hillside homes with panoramic views, and walkable village center create a setting that demands landscapes of quiet refinement.
From drought-tolerant native gardens framing ocean views to lush, private entertaining terraces tucked behind village cottages, Del Mar landscapes balance beauty with the practical realities of coastal living. We understand the local bluff erosion challenges, the salt exposure that limits plant selection, and the architectural character that gives this community its timeless appeal.
