Landscaping in San Juan: What to Consider

Coastal Environment

Laiya’s beachfront location means salt air, sandy soils, and intense sun. Every design decision — from plant selection to hardscape materials — must account for these coastal realities.

Vacation Property Needs

Many San Juan properties are weekend homes or vacation rentals. Landscapes must look inviting for guests while requiring minimal day-to-day attention between visits.

Resort Aesthetic

The Laiya area has developed a distinct tropical resort character. Landscaping should complement this aesthetic — lush, relaxed, and suited to the beach lifestyle these communities offer.

Premium Community Standards

Developments like Seafront Residences, Playa Laiya, and Porto Laiya maintain high standards. Landscape quality should match the investment these properties represent.
