Local Brief
Landscape, hardscape, lighting, and stewardship in Newport Coast, CA.
From Pelican Hill and Pelican Crest to Crystal Cove, Newport Coast properties demand architectural elegance, fire-zone discipline, and gated-community discretion. We deliver all three.
We pay attention to local climate, sun exposure, grade changes, and the architecture of the home before shaping materials, planting, and lighting. Whether you live in Pelican Hill, Pelican Crest, Crystal Cove, Newport Ridge, the goal is the same: a landscape that feels resolved, quiet, and durable.

Local conditions we plan for
Generic SoCal templates fail in Newport Coast— the climate, the regulations, and the architectural rhythm here demand specific moves. Here's what we plan around before the first sketch.
Pelican Hill + Crystal Cove lots fall in CalFire Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. Plant-palette compliance with Chapter 4906 (defensible space) is mandatory, not optional.
Pelican Hill, Crystal Cove, and Newport Ridge have committee-driven review processes. We pre-package material submissions to match the approved palette pages.
Catalina view corridors + bluff stormwater channeling need careful design — drainage that sheets toward the bluff face causes erosion liability.
Neighborhoods served
We design and build landscapes across Newport Coast — including Pelican Hill, Pelican Crest, Crystal Cove, and Newport Ridge. Each neighborhood has its own architectural rhythm, microclimate, and HOA considerations — we tune palette, hardscape, and stewardship cadence accordingly.
