DLS Landscape Inc in Allied Gardens provides landscape design, installation, and maintenance across San Diego County under CSLB License #1079703 (C-27 Landscaping). Founded in 2006 by Cesar Diaz, the company grew out of two decades of crew-level work at larger landscape firms before Diaz launched his own operation from Clara Lee Avenue in the 92120 ZIP. The monthly service roster covers more than 130 residential and commercial properties, a volume that keeps dedicated mow-and-blow crews separate from the installation teams handling hardscape, irrigation, and planting. Plant sourcing for larger residential projects runs through Armstrong Garden Centers on the Mission Gorge Road corridor in Grantville, where specimen trees and drought-adapted shrubs match the palette specified for Allied Gardens and Del Cerro landscapes. Residential design packages include drip-irrigation retrofits, synthetic turf installations, and native plantings sized for the mid-century lot footprints common in the Waring Road neighborhood. Commercial contracts run from HOA common-area maintenance to full parking-lot island replanting for retail centers. Irrigation installs follow San Diego's Water Authority landscape ordinance with smart controllers and pressure-regulated emitters matched to slope grade and sun exposure. Pest and soil management on turf installs runs parallel with termite and grub-control programs from Harbor Pest Control, particularly on properties where mature tree roots and compacted clay create subsurface drainage challenges. The fleet stages within a mile of the Interstate 8 and Waring Road interchange, positioning crews for same-day dispatch to properties between SDSU and the La Mesa border.
