Cal Terra Design - Manhattan Beach's Licensed Landscapers

We design landscapes with proactive solutions for our coastal climate. To combat weeds, we use strategic mulching, select dense, ground-covering plants, and can install high-quality weed barrier fabrics during construction. For reliable irrigation, we design and install robust systems using durable, corrosion-resistant components suited for the salty air and program timers with clear homeowner instructions. Our ongoing maintenance services also include seasonal timer checks and adjustments to prevent failures and conserve water.

Our process is collaborative and thorough. It begins with a detailed consultation to understand your vision and needs. We then create custom design plans, often including photo-realistic renderings so you can visualize the result. For construction—whether a patio, retaining wall, or driveway—we handle all aspects from earthmoving and grading to the final installation. We coordinate closely with trusted local contractors for any specialized work, managing the entire project to ensure quality, adherence to local codes, and a smooth experience from start to finish.

Yes, we provide complete landscape maintenance to protect your investment. Our services include lawn care, shrub pruning and trimming, disease and insect management, and seasonal planting. For clients who choose our low-maintenance design options, upkeep is simplified, but we are always available for regular care or specific needs like shrub transplanting or removal. This ensures your Manhattan Beach landscape remains healthy, vibrant, and beautiful year-round with minimal hassle for you.
