Local context
Landscape Design in Carmel-by-the-Sea — what's different here.
Carmel-by-the-Sea sits in the Monterey Bay fog belt, where cool, fog-influenced summers and mild winters shape every install. Soils here run to sandy coastal soils with salt-air exposure, and Coastal Commission review and design-overlay districts shape what's possible on exterior work.
Coastal design has to thread Coastal Commission permits, design-review approvals, and HOA architectural review — drawings are produced for approval, not just aesthetics.
What it looks like in practice:
- Custom design solutions
- 3D renderings and visualizations
- Budget-conscious planning
- Design-build coordination
