Founded in 2008, Timberwood Landscape runs a full-service landscape construction operation from 2732 Second Avenue in Hillcrest and carries the registered alternate business name Timberwood Paint & Finish to cover in-house exterior paint and stucco work on the same contract as the landscape install. Design-build scope covers hardscape, irrigation, fencing, patios, water features and exterior paint, a single-contractor model that sits on the opposite end of the trade spectrum from the plan-and-spec agency-documentation work produced at McCullough Landscape Architecture, Inc., the 1999-founded woman-owned studio housed in the 1949 Lloyd Ruocco-designed Design Center at 3605-B Fifth Ave. Water-efficient irrigation retrofits with rotator heads, drip zones, hydro-zoning and smart controllers replace legacy pop-up spray systems on older 92103 properties where summer water rates and restrictions have become part of the brief. Additional trade scope includes wood fencing, flagstone, dry creek beds, low-voltage path lighting, outdoor kitchens and concrete flatwork engineered for San Diego canyon-lot soil movement. Downspout and drainage tie-ins between the roof and the finished landscape are a recurring pinch point on canyon-lot installs, where French drains and dry-well connections have to meet up with the tile-and-solar strip-to-ridge technique used by the 2008-founded Gen819 Roofing San Diego crew out of Vista on Spanish-tile roofs with integrated solar arrays. The most ambitious jobs are whole-yard remodels on Mission Hills and Bankers Hill canyon lots combining engineered retaining walls, planted slope stabilization, full smart-controller irrigation and an outdoor kitchen or fire feature all delivered under one contract.
