Patio Design
Report
Patios, walks, driveways, pool decking and all hard surfaces in the landscape are what we in the trade call Hardscape. There is a definite balance between the hard and soft of a garden for it to be both pleasing and useful. For example, if your garden were all concrete paving, it would seem sterile and industrial.
Irrigation

AUTOMATIC is the key word here. We want to create watering systems that are easy to use, don't require a lot of monitoring and gets the job done. We do this by analyzing the site and engineering a watering system that makes sense. We take your garden's size, microclimates and needs all into account.

Usually the owner of a property for a new project gives us some rough ideas of their landscape interests and requirements. (I would like a bigger patio area. I'd like an outdoor kitchen and more shade by the pool.) Before picking up any of our design tools, we strive to listen carefully to them. We realize that they are the ones that are going to be living with this garden.

We had a fantastic experience working with Torrey Pines Landscaping. Harry and his entire crew were wonderful to work with. They designed a beautiful and functional front yard for our family that fit our lifestyle and compliments our home. They really went above and beyond with every detail and the quality of their work. Our yard stands out now and truly beautifies our home.

Torry Pines Landscape Company Was highly recommended to us. If you want the best this is the company to use. When we met the owner Harry, we immediately felt very comfortable working with him and his team. He is extremely knowledgeable, many years of experience, passionate and has a great personality. We had a lot of fun working with him. His team is top-notch. Lei, his Architectural designer and John, his Supervisor were excellent.
Always available, very professional, and dedicated. It was impressive to watch how hard and efficient his crews worked. They were always accommodating and helpful. Harry and his team have high standards and want the customer to be happy. We at all times were welcome to share in choices and decisions. So ultimately, we now love our new courtyard, hardscape, landscape and driveway. We enjoyed the journey and are thrilled with the results. It filled our expectations and more.

I cannot think of another company that has performed so exceptionally. I want to credit Doug Dilworth and his team that worked with us every step of the way as we transformed our backyard wasteland into a work of art. Doug is creative professional who stands by his word and delivered as one could only hope. I highly recommend Torrey Pines Landscape Company.

Torrey Pines is the 4th company, starting over 10 years ago, we have had for landscapers. We had two mow & blow companies, and one other professional company but weren't happy. TP fantastic. Our site supervisor is a true horticulture expert, the employees have an educational 1/2 day every other week, we NEVER have to worry about anything and our 1 acre+ of landscaping is a joy and pleasure.
They just did a major needed driveway and retaining wall replacement; they are excellent hardscape contractors as well. They asked to copy and paste the note I sent them, but it wasn't sufficient to communicate the quality of their work. Hi Torrey Pines guys, Thank you for doing such a wonderful job on our wall, driveway, and landscape. The replacement landscape is growing in beautifully.
We want to tell you how much we are enjoying how wonderful and professional it all looks. Special thanks to Mark who suggested we get a bid and consider the project. Please pass on our thanks to the crew who did such a wonderful job, especially the incredible brick work; a work of art. Thank you, Julie and Bob

We bought a home in the Crosby in Rancho Santa Fe, and it was an ugly mess of landscaping with a design that made the front look short and covered the back golf course view. It needed a major beautification. We knew we needed Torrey Pines Landscaping, and their wonderful team lead by the humble Harry Thompson. Harry has a servant's heart plus a special talent for landscape design. Torrey Pines Landscaping transformed the ugly landscaping to an awarding winning design that ended up on the cover of San Diego Home/Garden. https://www.sandiegohomegarden.com/2016/09/13/invitation-to-a-view/ If you really appreciate great design, beautiful flowers and nature, and quality work, Torrey Pines Landscaping is the only choice!

After moving to San Diego in 2009, we had at least a few landscapers do maintenance work on our property, which is challenging because of its size and topography (several elevation changes.) We were referred to Torrey Pines Landscape Co. and we engaged TPLC to do our maintenance. Impressed by their work, we later asked Harry Thompson to prepare a design for a substantial remodel of the landscaping, hardscape, some regrading and construction of permanent structures.
We liked and approved the design which, when completed, was beyond our expectations. Though it had not been our objective in doing the project, with our permission, TPLC successfully submitted the work for industry recognition, including recognition as a "garden of the year" in San Diego Home & Garden magazine, and as one of the "secret gardens" in one of the annual LJ Historical Society events. TPLC continues to do our maintenance work, which is supervised by a gentleman very knowledgeable in horticulture and which is well-performed by a crew with members we have known for years. TPLC is top notch.

Our backyard garden remodel just recently was completed by Torrey Pines Landscape and we could not be more thrilled with the execution and the final result! Harry Thompson and his crew designed our dream backyard and made it a reality. Our space is on a city-sized lot in the Banker's Hill area and he addressed every challenge our space presented.
The entire crew was completely respectful of our privacy, maintaining our security of our yard and keeping the site neat and tidy at the end of each day. Every day, either Harry or Mark would come and check in on the progress of the project and Harry had the crew rebuild part of our custom fountain because he was not satisfied with how it looked initially! Dave, the project supervisor was fantastic to work with and provided valuable insight for things concerning the BBQ island and how the layout would work best.
Every single detail was considered, from dog-friendly plants to lighting. I can not recommend them highly enough, they are true craftsmen and if you can dream it, they can create it!

We are so pleased with the "re-boot" of our landscape and extremely happy that we chose TP Landscape to plan & design and then execute on that plan. We also decided to stay with them for our weekly maintenance as well. We couldn't be happier with the level of detailed planning, support and responsiveness we received throughout the 3 month process and the professionalism exhibited by the entire staff! Thanks Harry and team.it looks even better now three months later!

I was purchasing a new condo, and the deal would close in about 8 weeks. Given the long backlog with SD landscapers, I wanted a design and bid on the project so as soon as it closed the contractor of choice could start the work. Torrey Pines would NOT even talk to me about the design and refused to come out and look at the property. Out of the dozen+ companies I talked to about the project, this company was the worst.
They had a 6-8 week backlog, which was perfect given my timing. It boggles my mind they want to turn away business, and force me to wait months to even get a bid. I'm going elsewhere, and given this lack of customer service, I'm glad I found out sooner rather than later what kind of company they really are.

Last fall we contacted Harry Thompson to redo our backyard. After considering a few other companies, we decided to go with TP Landscape Co. Harry was thorough, knowledgeable and listened to all our concerns/requests. I must say this was a big investment for us, but definitely worthwhile. In the end, we were very pleased with the overall outcome, and just in time for Thanksgiving!
His crew was respectful, hard-working and cleaned up at the end of each day. Dave, his project supervisor, was great to work with. You can tell he has a nice working relationship with the crew and clear communication with them. Thank you TP Landscape Company for our new beautiful, tropical oasis! We look forward to firing up our built-in BBQ and fire pit. Also, it's nice to know that you guys check up on us periodically to make sure things (sprinklers/timers/etc) are working as they should.
