Hey San Diego! 👋

I’m the owner of a tight-knit landscape operation here in town, and we specialize in patios, walkways, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, flower beds, irrigation, lighting, and much more. It’s me and a small crew of 4 awesome guys, and we just wrapped up a couple of big projects. We have a few more lined up, but we hit a small scheduling gap this upcoming week.

Rather than let my crew sit idle (which, to be honest, isn’t something I’m happy about), I’m reaching out to offer free yard upgrades to 1 or 2 lucky homeowners in the area. Yep, you read that right – FREE!

Here’s the deal:

If you need something simple like pulling weeds, trimming plants, or a spring cleanup – it’s totally free.

If you’re looking for something more complex like a patio, walkway, or outdoor kitchen, the labor is free. I’ll just send you a bill for materials. Why am I doing this? Well, I’d rather keep my crew busy (even if it means taking a slight hit financially) than have them sitting around. Plus, it’s a win-win: You get a free upgrade, and we get to show off our work!

If this sounds good to you, DM or chat me and I’ll share our website and Google business page so you can check out our past projects and work.

Remember, this offer is only available for 1 or 2 people, post will be removed once those spots are filled.

Get excited!!

Looking to gut our kitchen. I’m talking knocking down walls, replacing everything. Does anyone have any good contractors they worked with you recommend?

Good day everyone, I'm traveling down to San Diego in June for engagement photos at Balboa Park. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for a make up artist/hairstylist who can come to my hotel and help me get ready. It will be a 9 am shoot so it would be early morning. Thank you in advance!

Looking for San Diego ride share group. I am shifting to San Diego and have no transportation to get around. I’m too poor to use Uber/Lyft regularly. Ride pool or ride share would be ideal. I appreciate any help with regards to it. Feel free to DM if not comfortable sharing in public.

Edit: I will be living in Mira Mesa and my work is located outskirts of Rancho Bernardo. Mainly looking to commute during regular working hours 9am-5pm. I am willing to work around the time if needed. Instead of spending 3hours in public transit commute. I don’t mind ride pools that take in people with no transportation.

I dont want to get into too many details but I think I have enough ammo to file a lawsuit. Which local law firms and individual lawyers have the best track record?

I'm looking to get a small custom cake for 4 people. Nothing fancy, just a congrats to one of my friends for one of her recent achievements, so I really just want something with a couple words on top. I was also hoping to get something local rather than from a grocery store. I have a little experience in cake decorating but just don't have time to make one from scratch. Are there any local recommendations for a small 4-6" cake?

Desire unlimited talk/text/internet on it as she lives on her phone.

What plan would you do?

Can you guys please help me create an itinerary for 2.5 days? - I really want to do paragliding at Torrey pines - let me know if worth it - also have hear Coronado is a must visit - let me know if you think so too - don’t want to go to the zoo

So can you please help with:

1. How to plan my days and where to go and what exactly to do at each place (a high-level itinerary would be helpful)
2. What are the musts to do and best times to be at those places - i’d love to know about the local hidden gems
3. Best brunch places
4. Best coffee spot and dessert spots
5. Any good coffee shop to work at (good view pls)

I will be staying at La Jolla, I don’t drink so you can skip bars etc. recommendations. Also, have rented a car to get around.

Hi! I’ve lived in San Diego for about 10 years now but I’ve never really indulged in any spas. My partner and I have been to a couple massage places (Bird Rock Massage is amazing!!) but I’m looking to treat my partner to more of a spa experience. This month he’s traveling a lot for work and I want to do something special for him when he gets back. Something along the lines of a massage, facial, pedicure - any of that sort. Just something nice and relaxing. Thanks so much!

edit: we live around the Del Mar area but I’m willing to take us wherever!

Hey everyone! My husband and I are coming to SD in September for a getaway (no kids!). Our goal vibe is: relaxing, easy exploring/walkability, visit a few SD classic sights, go to some nice restaurants and some more local/street food, a little ‘hiking’, and spend some time relaxing on the water. We want to dress up a little and have a comfortable stay that feels a little luxurious since we are treating ourselves with this trip!

We have done some research and I want to confirm that this plan matches our goals!

As of now we are thinking of booking at La Valencia in La Jolla, spend 1 day in downtown SD (zoo this day as well as Little Italy, maybe dinner in Coronado?), half day hiking in Torrey Pines, kayaking in La Jolla, and watching the sunset at Sunset Cliffs….am I missing anything? We aren’t golfers or surfers. Would love more specific ideas for our day in downtown. Thank you! EDIT: 4 day trip.

Looking for suggestions for places to eat and things to do in San Diego, best place to stay, etc. Any help is appreciated.

I've never been to Southern California before. I booked flights for a 7 night vacation in August with my family of 4 (kids 9 and 10) to your fine city. However, I can't figure out where to stay!

I've been browsing through the subreddit and most suggestions on places to stay focus on Mission Beach, La Jolla, and Carlsbad. I don't think I've seen too many suggestions to stay on Coronado Island. Is it a PITA to get to other locations from there or something? Is it not worth the money?

We are looking for a beach vacation, but we also want to visit the zoo, safari zoo, catch a Padres game and idk what else. I would love to be within walking distance of food options from the resort/hotel.

This is the one big vacation of the year so we'll splurge maybe $1k a night or so. Do we stay in one place for the week or switch up hotels after a while to see more of the county?

Any recommondations on lodging or activties?

Thanks!

Why aren’t people suggesting mission bay resort? Should I look at catamaran, paradise point or bahia instead? It’ll just be my husband, 4 yr old and I. Is it only because the others are closer to the ocean? Or are there issues with mission bay resort? Thanks!

Already have 2 room mates. 2 of us work in La Jolla, the other in downtown San Diego. We want a relatively safe spot and are ok with spending 1800 before utilities per person, preferably less though. Any recommendations as to where to start looking and the best approach to finding a place?

Edit: Took off how much I make

Hi,I'm working at a pho restaurant in CA. My tips paycheck for two weeks was only 14.90% of the pooled tips. 'm pretty much prep and making alots of drinks milk tea,smoothies and mango sticky rice ,etc. Also help the customer odering. My hours are sometimes six or four hours, we have one server for the morning shift and one for dinner, but the restaurant is open from 11:00 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. The two people as a kitchen staff work all day and also work as food runners sometimes. One person as the dishwasher works 4- 5 hours and sometimes helps in the front. We have a tips report (credit card and cash tips) every night, but we don't know how much each person received. So one day working we have 2 server 2 cook and 1 dishwasher the total is 4 people. I calculated the total tips from the tips report for the 10 days I worked; the total of credit card tips plus cash tips was $1760, and my paycheck is $262.90(~14.90%) in tips. Regardless, the restaurant has a tablet per table so the customer can order themselves. So, I don't know if it is fair that my tips are so low. I worked as a server before, but this is the lowest tip share I've ever received. I mean, it's slow season, but I'm not sure it's fair. Can anybody help? Please. Is it legal to ask my employer to show the tips report by day or show how much percentage each of us gets from the pool tips?

Planning a trip to San Diego for my 40th. What neighborhood or area would you recommend that’s a good mix of beach and things to do. I don’t drink so I’m good on the bar scene, but love live music, tattoos and the beach. Also, what neighborhoods are safest for a woman traveling alone?

What do you do in San Diego if you have a day off to yourself?

I occasionally have a day off mid-week when nobody's around, and I prefer to get out than to sit at home all day. Any recommendations for places to go, things to do? Looking for something low-key and not too busy.

Hello, I am planning a trip with my family (4 of us) to both the Zoo & Safari Park (1st week of June; visiting each park on separate days). Being that I have never stayed in San Diego for more than a couple of hours, just wanted to ask & perhaps get some input on hotel recommendations. So far I have a list of options which are:

The Lafayette,

Lodge at Torrey Pines (pricey but still worth a look),

Doubletree Hilton Mission Valley

Marriott SpringHill Suites San Diego Downtown/Bayfront

I prefer something closer in between both parks to minimize the drive to & from, but whatever is in a safer area (even if it means a longer drive). I'm trying to avoid bad areas/getting my car vandalized. If y'all could share your thoughts or have any other hotel suggestions, I'd like to hear about them. As well as any tips you might have for this kind of trip, I would greatly appreciate it!

Many thanks in advance!

Buddy and I (both M23) are visiting in April. Looking for fun things to do - the dumber the better. We like edm, rock, metal, country, getting drunk, guns, cars, games, 90s movies, sports, nature … the usual.

Any activities and spots we shouldn’t miss?

I just bought a home in Talmadge, I move in mid May. I’m familiar with SD, June gloom, no sky July etc. however, I haven’t spent enough time in Talmadge to know the fog log. If you could kindly give me an idea of how far the fog stretches, what’s it like in Talmadge? Does it typically burn up by the afternoon? Thanks!

Hello everyone, I'm visiting San Diego from Weds - Sun this week. I'm from PA and have never visited before. Any recommendations?

Things I enjoy: Hiking Exploring/walking older downtown areas Unique foods (seafood, ethnic food, etc) Craft beers - Not the biggest fan of beaches

I know I'm not the most unique person but any insight would be helpful.

Also, I'm a 43yr old male.

Hi guys! I was wondering if anyone knows a discord that's based in SD (I live in North County, but I'm not too picky) that's for lesbians or LGBTQ+ folks in general? I'd love some in person meet ups because I'm hoping for a sense of community; it feels a little sometimes. Thank you!

My son (14.5) and I (50f) are going to be making a short trip to San Diego to dispose of my parents ashes in May. We found a great service that will do it for us since I have a boat phobia.

I will be visiting my brother in Tucson to get the ashes, so we can either drive in from Tucson, or just fly in (Southwest airlines)

Other than handing over the ashes to the service, we plan to maily keep any toursim to the Balboa Park area. Is it feasable to just use either public transportation or taxi's in San Diego? It has been a solid 18 years since I have been in San Diego. I don't want to spend my time looking for parking, or stuck in traffic or pay to park a car for reason. We would attempt to have a place to stay with in a 20 minute walking distance of Balboa Park. take a taxi from the airport... We are talking like 2-3 days kind of trip. There will be other times to visit longer, it isn't a once in a life time deal.

Over 40 years ago, when I was a teenager, my family took a road trip through San Diego. I can’t tell you how much I loved San Diego, and Southern California in general.

(Now the stupid part)….

We were driving on a highway, no idea which highway, and we saw an absolutely beautiful grey towering building. It looked ancient to me, but probably not actually 150 years old. I remember it as a church, or cathedral, but I’ve spent two hours on Google and Google maps, and can’t find anything similar. I remember it being extremely tall, gray, and ancient looking… anyone have any ideas to help my 40 year old memory?
