Aviara lots are not flat. A lot of them drop 6 to 12 feet from the back fence toward the lagoon, which means retaining walls and drainage come up on almost every job we bid here.

We design with the slope, not against it.

What Aviara yards need

The homes near the Park Hyatt and the golf course usually carry HOA rules on plant height, front-yard turf limits, and wall materials. We read the CC&Rs before we draw anything. It saves a redesign later.

Wind off the lagoon dries new plantings out fast. Last September we lost a first round of plants on a Songbird Drive yard before we split the irrigation into six separate drip zones and switched to coastal-tolerant material. After that it held. We run the same setup on most Aviara installs now.

Hillside and drainage work

On the stepped lots above Batiquitos we build segmental retaining walls, typically 3 to 5 feet tall, set on a compacted base with 12 inches of 3/4-inch drain rock and a 4-inch perforated pipe behind them. Skip that and hydrostatic pressure pushes a wall out within a few wet winters. We rebuilt a 40-foot wall off Ambrosia Lane last winter that failed for exactly that reason, no drainage behind the original.

Grading comes first. Plants come last.

Services we bring to Aviara

Design, hardscape and pavers, retaining walls, irrigation repair and install, and low-voltage lighting for long North County evenings. A typical paver patio runs us about 400 to 700 square feet on these lots. We also handle full renovations when an older yard needs a reset.

Aviara sits minutes from our work in La Costa and the rest of Carlsbad. For the design process, see our landscape design page, and for patios and walls see hardscape construction.

If we built or renovated a yard for you near Aviara Parkway or Poinsettia Lane, we would appreciate a note on Google that mentions your street.
