Alamo Heights, with neighboring Terrell Hills and Olmos Park, is San Antonio’s most established and affluent address, an independent Bexar County city of historic homes, tree-lined streets, and grounds kept to an exacting standard. Properties here are mature, often architecturally significant, and shaded by towering heritage live oaks. Homeowners expect refined, detail-driven landscaping that complements the home and the neighborhood, not generic mow-and-go.
That standard, more than the soil or climate, defines our work in 78209: precision, consistency, and respect for mature, valuable landscapes.
Refined Maintenance and Heritage Trees
An Alamo Heights landscape is judged on detail: crisp edging, immaculate beds, perfectly kept hedges, and seasonal color that suits a historic home. We provide that level of consistent, detail-driven care. The neighborhood’s heritage live oaks are irreplaceable, so we prune only in the oak-wilt-safe season and treat the canopy as the centerpiece it is. Under deep oak shade we use shade-tolerant St. Augustine where light allows and elegant shade-garden plantings where it does not.
Custom Design and Hardscape
For renovations and new outdoor spaces, we design to the architecture, formal beds and boxwood for traditional homes, cleaner lines for contemporary ones, with custom stone patios, walkways, and walls built to last. On established lots we work carefully around mature roots and existing irrigation, and we tune watering to local restrictions with efficient, weather-based control that protects both the landscape and the water bill.
