What is design+build?

We take a design+build approach to every project we do. This means we complete every element of the process, from the initial design to the final steps of construction. This approach offers a number of benefits, including increased efficiency, value engineering, quality, and more. You can have more peace of mind knowing that the responsibility of the project lies with one company instead of multiple, which simplifies communication and increases the project’s overall efficacy.

What kinds of projects do you do?

We offer landscaping, remodeling, and custom home services. Our landscaping services include xeriscapes, hardscapes, outdoor spas, smart irrigation, and more. Our remodeling services include kitchens, bathrooms, master suites, whole home remodeling, and more. If you’re not sure if the scope of your project fits with our services, give us a call and we can discuss your ideas to determine if we are the right fit for one another.

How long will my project take?

The length of the project will depend on the scope. We start every project with an initial consultation and a number of follow-up meetings, during which we will determine the scope of the project, which then enables us to provide a projected timeline. We do our best to complete every project within the projected timeline and are sure to inform you of any temporary roadblocks that may occur along the way.

What makes your work eco-friendly?

Our promise is to use environmentally friendly home building materials and innovative techniques to reduce your home’s impact on the environment while providing you with the highest quality service. We have spent many years studying eco-friendly home building and landscaping practices and continue to work to stay up-to-date on the latest technology so that we can provide the most cutting-edge, effective services to our clients. Our landscape architects are LEED certified, a leading certification in the field of green building.

Due to San Diego’s water use restrictions, every landscape we build is designed to require minimal watering. Similarly, we incorporate eco-friendly elements wherever we can with remodels and custom homes. Everything from the flooring to the appliances is selected with maximum efficiency and minimal impact in mind.

Is Eco Minded Solutions insured?

We are insured for both safety and peace of mind. If you have any questions about our insurance, we will be happy to provide you with further details so that you can be fully confident in our capabilities and qualification.
