San Diego County 2025 HOA Landscape Trends
We’re already halfway through 2025. As one of the premier HOA landscaping companies in San Diego County, we take pride in keeping up with landscaping trends for HOAs and apartment communities throughout the County. So, what are we seeing?
Read on to learn more about San Diego landscape trends for HOAs.
Water-Wise Landscapes
Drought-tolerant plants
HOA communities in San Diego are replacing traditional lawns with native and drought-tolerant plants. Communities are replacing their traditional lawns with water-wise options, such as succulents, California poppies, lavender, and other species that are well-suited to the climate in San Diego County.
Efficient irrigation systems
HOAs are moving to smart irrigation technologies. Drip irrigation and weather-based controllers can automatically adjust watering schedules, which helps conserve water. Conserving water is great for the environment and saves money that the HOA can use for property enhancements.
Reducing or eliminating turfgrass
With the passage of AB 1572 and a January 1, 2027, deadline fast approaching, HOAs throughout San Diego County are replacing non-functional turf areas in their communities with drought-tolerant alternatives.
Harvesting rainwater
San Diego County’s yearly rainfall totals aren’t much. Harvesting rainwater with features such as rain gardens is gaining momentum.
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Landscaping Practices
Using native plants
Have leaning plants and vines on your property? It’s natural for plants that are growing taller. If so, it’s time to give them support by staking them up. You can find what you need at your local garden shop, such as poles, support cages, rings, and more. Garden twine comes in handy for any climbing vines that have already reached the top of the trellis.
Adding Seasonal Colors to Create Year-Round Interest
Bring a splash of color and year-round visual appeal to your community with seasonal color. Here are a few plant suggestions by season:
Summer
- Bougainvillea
- California Fuchsia
- Bird of Paradise
- Buckwheat
Fall
- Ornamental grasses
- Sedum
- Aster
Winter
- Manzanita
- Evergreens
- Hellebores
Spring
- California Lilac
- California Poppies
- Yarrow
- Showy Penstemon
Low-Maintenance Landscaping and New Technologies
Low-maintenance plants: HOAs in San Diego County are opting for low-maintenance plants and ground covers, such as California Sedge. One of the things that attracts HOAs to selecting low-maintenance plants in their San Diego landscape is that they add beauty to communities with less need for constant attention.
