Landscape Architecture & Garden Design in Coronado, Southern California
“Where Art & Nature evolve into Legacy.”
Coronado is unlike any other place in Southern California.
An island shaped by history, light, wind, and civic pride — where Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, coastal heritage, and carefully preserved streetscapes demand a level of design sensitivity far beyond trends or formulas.
At LASD Studio, we design landscapes that protect, elevate, and quietly extend the legacy of the homes they surround.
Coronado’s Architecture Requires Landscape Intelligence
Many Coronado properties are defined by Spanish Colonial Revival architecture — white stucco walls, clay tile roofs, arcades, courtyards, and deeply human-scaled proportions. These homes require landscape design that understands heritage, restraint, and material dialogue between antiquity and modern lifestyle.
Our work respects: Historic proportions and sightlines; Courtyard traditions and inward-focused spaces; Transitions between public street, semi-private garden, and private interior; Long-term preservation of character and value.
We design landscapes that feel as if they have always belonged — never imposed, never competing.
Bohemian Minimalism: A Gentle Evolution of Tradition
In Coronado, innovation must be soft.
Our Bohemian Minimalism approach allows historic and contemporary influences to coexist naturally — introducing air, lightness, and ecological intelligence without disturbing the architectural soul of the property.
This often means: Simplified planting compositions that enhance architecture; Carefully curated plant palettes that invite butterflies, hummingbirds, and seasonal change; Calm material transitions rather than decorative excess; Gardens designed for daily life, reflection, and longevity.
The result is a landscape that feels alive, timeless, and quietly modern — without breaking continuity.
Living Landscapes on a Fragile Island
Coronado’s island setting brings unique environmental responsibilities.
Soils, wind exposure, coastal climate, and water sensitivity all demand precision and foresight.
We design Coronado landscapes as living systems: Supporting biodiversity and pollinators; Improving soil health and long-term resilience; Reducing unnecessary water demand through intelligent planning; Creating microclimates that make outdoor living comfortable year-round.
Here, ecological responsibility is not a trend — it is part of stewardship.
