Brandon and his team are a group of true professionals and you can tell they take pride in what they do. We contracted with HLE to help with our new build, blank slate backyard. From the beginning Brandon was able to help us visualize what our backyard could look like. From explaining the color contrast of materials he suggested using, to flawlessly executing our revisions on our plans, the communication was better than we could have ever hoped. This was one of the main reasons we ended up choosing to work with HLE over other companies we received bids from. The crew was quick and efficient getting the work done. We would highly recommend HLE for anyone looking to build their dream backyard or upgrade their current landscaping. Thank you again!

Expert Planting and Irrigation in La Mesa, CA
La Mesa sits in Sunset Climate Zone 23, where hot, dry summers and mild winters put real pressure on residential landscapes. Without the right plants and a properly sized irrigation system, yards lose color fast and water bills climb. HLE Landscape & Design handles planting and irrigation as one connected service. We select plants suited to La Mesa's warm inland temperatures, then design an irrigation layout that delivers water where each plant actually needs it. Drip systems and smart controllers reduce runoff, which matters here because the City of La Mesa prohibits overwatering that sends water into streets and storm drains. Many older La Mesa properties also carry clay soil that drains poorly, so we account for soil conditions before we put anything in the ground. Whether you are starting a new planting bed or replacing an outdated sprinkler setup, we build systems that hold up through long dry stretches without wasting water. Call HLE Landscape & Design to schedule a site visit.
