Climb Mount Soledad the afternoon after a winter storm has blown through and the city lays itself out below: the bay and the downtown towers to the south, the long pale sweep of the coast, mesas and canyons rolling inland toward mountains that sometimes wear a dusting of snow. From up there, San Diego looks like what it is, a puzzle of terraces and slopes, beach flats and hilltops, each with its own soil and sun. San Diego Landscaping carries the city's own name, and its work is landscaping and lawn care for exactly that varied ground. Hilltop yards take the brunt of the wind, canyon-edge lots fight the pull of the slope, and gardens near the water live in the sea air; no two corners of the city ask for quite the same thing. Standing on that summit, you can nearly picture every yard in the city tended and thriving at once.
