In Coronado, the outdoor lifestyle isn’t just a perk, it’s a way of life. With year-round sunshine, ocean breezes, and a strong sense of community, homeowners are increasingly looking beyond their four walls to expand how they live, entertain, and relax.
At San Diego Landscape Solutions, we’ve seen a clear trend: outdoor spaces are no longer “just yards.” They’re becoming thoughtful extensions of the home; places to gather, recharge, and enjoy the Southern California lifestyle. Here’s why more Coronado residents are investing in outdoor living spaces, and which features are adding comfort, beauty, and value.
1. Patios That Feel Like Living Rooms
Whether it’s a welcoming front courtyard or a private backyard retreat, patios are being transformed into fully furnished outdoor lounges. We’re designing spaces that feature:
Built-in seating and decorative paver patterns
All-weather furniture and outdoor rugs
Shade structures like pergolas or retractable awnings
With the right materials and layout, even a compact yard can feel like it just gained another living room, no remodel required.
2. Fire Features for Year-Round Warmth
Cool coastal evenings are the perfect excuse to gather around the fire. From cozy fire pits to grand outdoor fireplaces, these additions extend the usability of your yard while adding ambiance. Homeowners love:
Gas fire bowls with clean, modern lines
Traditional stucco fireplaces to complement Spanish-style homes
Seating walls surrounding the fire feature for easy entertaining
Fire elements create a natural focal point and transform your backyard into a space you’ll use every season.
3. Outdoor Lighting That Does More Than Illuminate
Lighting has become a key part of outdoor design, balancing beauty and functionality. We use layered lighting plans to enhance safety and showcase architecture, landscaping, and texture. Popular options include:
Path and step lighting for safe navigation
Uplighting for trees, palms, and facades
Warm LED underlighting for seating areas and counters
The right lighting turns your landscape into an experience—inviting by day and magical by night.
4. Outdoor Kitchens & Dining Areas
In Coronado, entertaining is a lifestyle and outdoor kitchens are quickly becoming a must-have. Whether it’s a compact grill setup or a full chef’s kitchen, our designs often include:
Built-in BBQs, prep counters, and storage
Sinks, mini-fridges, and pizza ovens
Integrated dining areas and custom bar seating
These spaces make it effortless to enjoy the indoor-outdoor flow San Diego is famous for.
5. Custom Touches That Reflect You
Every homeowner’s vision is different and we love bringing those personal touches to life. From putting greens and raised garden beds to outdoor showers and yoga decks, customization is what makes your space truly yours.

More Livable Square Footage... Without Moving
For many Coronado homeowners, expanding indoors isn’t always possible due to lot size or zoning. But investing in outdoor living areas adds real usable space and boosts both comfort and property value.
At San Diego Landscape Solutions, we combine smart design with quality craftsmanship to help you get more from your property. Whether you’re working with a cozy courtyard or a full-size lot, we’ll help you create an outdoor space you’ll actually live in.
