Local context
What working in Monterey actually looks like.
Cool, fog-influenced summers, sandy soils, and salt-laden marine air. Plant choice has to handle wind, drought, and shade tolerance — and irrigation needs to be tuned for fog drip and slower evapotranspiration.
We lean heavily on California natives and Mediterranean species — manzanita, ceanothus, salvias, lavender, ornamental grasses, and structural agave. Hardscape favors permeable surfaces that play nicely with the water table and don't trap salt.
- Coastal Commission and architectural review boards in some neighborhoods
- Salt and wind tolerance for plant material near the shoreline
- Fog drip changes irrigation needs — more emitters, shorter runs
- Sandy and rocky soils that need different amendment than inland
