Hunsaker & Associates San Diego, Inc. provided comprehensive civil engineering, planning, and surveying services to bring this ambitious vision to life. From grading and utility design to trail connectivity and stormwater management, our team played a critical role in ensuring the community’s infrastructure was efficient, resilient, and environmentally integrated.
Enhancing Natural Assets Through Design
A key challenge in the project was the presence of an existing lake on the site. Rather than working around it or removing it, the City of Carlsbad asked that it be retained and celebrated. Our team successfully incorporated the lake into the overall site plan, transforming it into a centerpiece community amenity that enhances aesthetics, provides habitat, and contributes to stormwater quality.
Trail-Connected Living
La Costa Greens was designed with connectivity and open space in mind. A network of pedestrian trails links residential neighborhoods with natural areas, recreational facilities, and the golf course. This layout not only promotes healthy living and walkability but also strengthens the sense of community throughout the development.
By blending neighborhood planning with environmental sensitivity, La Costa Greens stands as a testament to how forward-thinking design and engineering can create lasting, livable communities.
