Let’s be honest, the fall and winter in San Diego is practically prime time for outdoor entertaining. The summer heat has gone away, there’s the perfect crisp in the air, and homeowners can once again fire up their BBQ’s and firepits without breaking out in a full sweat. But before you run to host your next gathering, make sure that your outdoor living space is refreshed for the new season. Let us help you prepare your space for the season as the months get cooler so you can enjoy your San Diego living space all fall and winter long. 

Growing your own herbs is a great way to add freshness and color to your home, as well as have easy access to homegrown ingredients. Believe it or not, it’s even easier than growing the average house plant. It can be a great way to add some healthy and fresh flavors to your meals and drinks, as well as bring new life to your garden or kitchen window sills. Whether you have a full backyard or just a small balcony space, growing herbs can be adapted to fit any lifestyle.

Over the years, as with most landscape and home design, there tend to be trends that come and go. Today we’re here to discuss vertical gardens, and whether or not we see them sticking around. It seems lately that vertical gardens have risen quite rapidly in popularity, but why? 

It’s no doubt that fall is one of the most wonderful times of the year, the weather starts to get a bit chillier and the leaves start to change color…oh wait, not in San Diego. Or so you thought! If you’re looking to get into a full fledged fall mood but don’t know where to find those beautiful fall colors, don’t you worry because we’ve got you covered. When you think of San Diego, the first things that come to mind are probably the beach, surfing and warm weather, but fall foliage is more than likely not on the list. Believe it or not, though, there are quite a few beautiful places in San Diego County where the weather gets just cold enough to change the leaves to stunning hues of orange and red.

With the holiday season in full swing, you might be brainstorming ways to celebrate the best time of the year with the people you love. One of the best ways to spend time with friends and family is by the fire enjoying great company and the spirit of the holidays. If you are lucky enough to live where the weather permits, we believe that this time of year is best celebrated outside where you can enjoy the cool air and snuggle up to your loved ones. So light up your fire pit and get ready to experience all of the joys of the season because we have a list of the best ways to celebrate this holiday season around your fire pit.

Are you looking to mix things for the holidays by doing something a little bit different or out of the box? Do you enjoy being outdoors in the fresh air, taking in the cool breeze and all of the sounds of nature? Well, why not relish in the season with the ones you love by opting to bring your celebrations outside! While we certainly don’t expect to have a white Christmas around these parts, there is still something so special about spending time outdoors on a cool December evening, surrounded by the glow of golden hour and all of your closest friends and family.
