• Raised planting beds
• Flood-tolerant plant selection
• Quick-draining soil amendments

Landscaping in San Pedro: What to Consider

High Density Reality

San Pedro’s 15,000 residents per square kilometer creates unique landscaping challenges. Lots are often compact, privacy from neighbors is valuable, and efficient use of outdoor space matters. We design gardens that maximize limited square meters while creating a sense of retreat.

Flood-Prone Barangays

Barangays near Laguna de Bay — including Landayan, Cuyab, Camcam, and San Roque — experience flooding during heavy rains and typhoons. Laguna Lake’s silted bottom prevents rapid drainage. Landscape design in these areas must account for periodic water inundation with appropriate plant selection and drainage infrastructure.

New Construction Soil

Many San Pedro properties are on recently developed land. Construction backfill is typically compacted, nutrient-poor, and hostile to plant roots. We test and amend soil appropriately — proper soil preparation is the foundation for gardens that actually thrive.

Monsoon Season Intensity

San Pedro experiences tropical monsoon climate with wet season from June to November. Annual rainfall approaches 2,600mm, concentrated in August and September. Drainage planning and flood-tolerant plant selection are essential, not optional.
