Services
Design, install, and maintain.
That's the menu.
Most landscape companies do too many things. We do a small list, and most of our customers eventually use all of it — design first, install second, then maintenance forever.
Landscape Design & Construction
A licensed Coronado landscape contractor should carry an active CSLB license plus bond and insurance before touching your lot. Ecosystem Landscaping & Design holds CSLB License #1152146, bonded and insured, and owner Samuel Fortes walks every Coronado job site himself before any plan gets priced.
We have drawn and planted beds on 11 verified Coronado properties, including the bayfront lots at 667 Ocean Blvd and 609 1st St, the older side yards off B Ave and J Ave, and the commercial frontage at Banc of California. Sam walked every one of those lots before he drew anything.
Ecosystem Landscaping & Design is a Coronado landscaping company holding CSLB License #1152146, bonded and insured. We design, build, and maintain yards in Coronado, Point Loma, Ocean Beach, Sunset Cliffs, Mission Hills, Hillcrest, Kensington, and Downtown San Diego. Samuel Fortes walks every property, draws the plan, and runs the job site.
Ecosystem Landscaping & Design is a Coronado landscape company that designs, installs, and maintains nine service lines under one CSLB license, #1152146, bonded and insured. Samuel Fortes walks every property, draws the plan, plants it, and comes back to prune it himself.
Hand-drawn plans and full installs — built around how you actually use the yard, the microclimate, and what won't fight Coronado's salt air.
Ten plus years working Coronado and Point Loma. Projects on Ocean Blvd, 1st St, B Ave, C Ave, J Ave, Balboa Ave, and I Ave. Hand-tended from sketch through first prune. Drip irrigation built for salt-air corrosion. Plant palettes drawn around bay-side full sun and older Coronado HOA hedge limits.

Commercial & Residential Maintenance
Standing weekly or monthly visits for homes and commercial accounts. The property stays the way it looked the day we finished planting it.
Nine services run out of one small Coronado team: landscape design and construction, commercial and residential maintenance, turf installation, irrigation design and installation, hardscape, landscape lighting, drought-tolerant design, cleanup and rehab, and lawn care. We hold CSLB License #1152146, bonded and insured. Our verified work covers 11 properties, including 545 Ocean Blvd, 667 Ocean Blvd, 609 1st St, 653 B Ave, 753 C Ave, 745 J Ave, and Banc of California. Job-site hours run Monday through Thursday 7am to 6pm, Friday 7am to 7pm, and Saturday 8am to noon.

Turf Installation
Locally-sourced fresh sod and quality artificial turf. Properly graded and prepped — we don't lay turf on a base we wouldn't sleep on.
Numbers we work to on this island. Pavers go over 4 inches of compacted base with edge restraint set on every open edge. Drain lines get pitched a quarter inch per foot of fall. Retained height past roughly 4 feet stops being a C-27 planting scope and needs engineering, and we say so before you pay us anything. Irrigation runs brass and stainless heads on pressure-rated PVC because plated hardware pits out within a season in salt air. Street-facing hedges on the estate blocks get held near 42 inches to the design review board expectation. We have drawn and planted beds across 11 verified Coronado properties, including 545 Ocean Blvd, 667 Ocean Blvd, 609 1st St, and 745 J Ave.

Irrigation Installation & Design
We design and install drip and spray irrigation for Coronado and Point Loma yards. On bayfront lots the salt air corrodes hardware fast, so we set a 25 PSI regulator and run drip emitters at 1 to 2 gallons per hour to keep water at the roots instead of misting onto the sidewalk in the afternoon heat.
On the Ocean Blvd and 545 Ocean Blvd beds, full afternoon sun off the water dries drip lines fast, so we audit existing irrigation before any planting plan and zone full-sun beds separately from the shaded side yards. A standard Coronado system runs roughly $1,500 to $4,500 installed depending on yard size and head count.
New irrigation systems and surgical fixes to old ones. Drip conversions, smart controllers, leak detection.
