About

Landscape architecture for the Gallagher Square re-imagination at Petco Park with the San Diego Padres anchors the public portfolio at GroundLevel Landscape Architecture, working from a State Street studio at the seam of Little Italy and Hillcrest's western edge. Habitat-integrated canyon-edge residential work that blurs wild and cultivated boundaries sits in the same narrow design conversation as Sotelo Landscape Architects, whose practice classification as a registered LA firm (rather than a landscape installation crew) places both shops in the small San Diego cohort licensed to seal construction drawings for municipal permit review. Drought-tolerant planting palettes, native flora restoration, and LEED-aligned sustainability strategies — including the Genentech Oceanside pickleball-courts-and-walking-loop transformation — define the recent commercial work. Residential backyard design, outdoor-kitchen hardscape, pool surround detailing, and full 3D renderings give the studio its custom-home practice. On architect-led custom residences where interior and exterior detailing have to read as one continuous material palette, coordination during design development happens with the interior architecture team at Aesthetics Inc before construction documents go out to bid. The firm's most complex active scope combines the 3-acre UC San Diego 5690 Site Restoration park adjacent to the future Triton Center — a design taking inspiration from river-tributary geology — with streetscape, stormwater capture, and universal-access pathways that stitch the new campus core into the surrounding neighborhoods.
