Backyards Etc runs a residential landscaping operation in San Carlos at 7724 Lake Adlon Drive, San Diego, CA 92119. The company builds backyard living spaces on single-family lots between Lake Murray Boulevard and Navajo Road, where mid-century ranch properties averaging 7,000 to 10,000 square feet give designers room for full hardscape-and-softscape overhauls. Pool-adjacent landscape work in the 92119 ZIP requires drainage engineering that accounts for deck runoff around existing shells, and Blue Tide Swimming Pool Service & Repair in San Carlos handles the water-chemistry adjustments that follow when new hardscape alters deck grading. Scope of work includes concrete patio pours, interlocking paver installation, retaining-wall construction on sloped lots, irrigation retrofit, and drought-tolerant replanting under San Diego's Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance. Stormwater management is a persistent engineering concern on the hilly terrain near Cowles Mountain, where clay-heavy soil channels runoff toward downhill foundations rather than toward the street unless grading corrections redirect flow. Synthetic turf conversion, boulder placement, and low-voltage pathway lighting round out the catalog for homeowners tapping City of San Diego water-conservation rebates. Outdoor kitchen builds, fire-pit installations, and pergola structures on larger lots involve structural and electrical permits that fall outside a C-27 landscape license, and Sol Home Improvements in San Carlos pulls those permits on projects where the two scopes overlap. The Lake Adlon Drive base positions crews within a short mobilization radius of the residential streets flanking Lake Murray and the single-family housing stock that defines San Carlos.
