Alamo City Lawn & Stone
Last updated:
Most San Antonio homeowners spend between $3,000 and $25,000 on landscaping in 2026, with routine lawn care at $35 to $55 per mow, xeriscaping at $5 to $18 per square foot, and a paver patio at $14 to $28 per square foot. Search demand is rising steeply: search impressions for this site grew about 277% from mid May to late June 2026. Here’s the full breakdown, drawn from our own published pricing and our own search and call data.
What landscaping costs in San Antonio in 2026
San Antonio budgets swing widely because the work does too. A weekly mow on a flat lot is a different project than a designed backyard with a paver patio, new irrigation, and a water-wise xeriscape front. Per our published San Antonio cost guide, here’s where 2026 pricing lands:
– Overall project range: most homeowners spend $3,000 to $25,000, and fully designed yards reach $30,000 and up – Weekly lawn mowing: $35 to $55 per visit on a standard lot – Full-season lawn care program (mowing, fertilization, weed control, seasonal treatments): $1,400 to $3,200 a year – New sprinkler system (6 to 8 zones): $2,800 to $5,500, usually $500 to $850 per zone – Xeriscape conversion: $5 to $18 per square foot, so a 500-square-foot front-yard conversion typically lands between $3,000 and $9,000 – Oak and tree trimming: $350 to $800 per tree for most jobs, $800 to $2,000 for large or heritage oaks – Paver patio: $14 to $28 per square foot installed, with concrete at $8 to $16 and limestone or flagstone at $20 to $40
The local cost drivers are thin soil over caliche and limestone that makes digging slow, drought-stage watering restrictions that shape irrigation design and reward xeriscaping, and the oak wilt protocol that keeps live-oak pruning out of the February through June window. Lawns here are warm-season grasses, with St. Augustine the most common, plus Bermuda and Zoysia on sunnier lots.
Search demand trend
We track how often this site appears in Google search results as a proxy for local landscaping demand. Here’s the weekly impressions curve from mid May through early July 2026:
| Week starting | Impressions |
|---|---|
| 2026-05-10 | 318 |
| 2026-05-17 | 262 |
| 2026-05-24 | 400 |
| 2026-05-31 | 311 |
| 2026-06-07 | 355 |
| 2026-06-14 | 531 |
| 2026-06-21 | 1,382 |
| 2026-06-28 | 2,594 |
| 2026-07-05 | 123 (partial week) |
The trend is strongly up. The first four full weeks totaled 1,291 impressions; the last four completed weeks totaled 4,862, a rise of about 277%. The curve held steady around 300 to 400 impressions per week through May, then broke out through June, with the week of June 28 reaching 2,594 impressions, roughly eight times the May baseline. The final row covers only the first days of July and isn’t comparable to full weeks, so we exclude it from the trend math.
What homeowners search for
Five commercial search terms stood out in our San Antonio data this period:
| Search term | Avg. position | Impressions |
|---|---|---|
| landscape design san antonio tx | 53.2 | 6 |
| landscapers san antonio tx | 54.7 | 6 |
| landscaping services san antonio tx | 58.0 | 1 |
| lawn care san antonio | 2.0 | 2 |
| san antonio landscaping company | 51.5 | 4 |
The mix skews toward full-service and design queries, which fits how much of a San Antonio budget goes into designed projects rather than one-off tasks. Individual keyword volumes are still small; most of the impression growth above is spread across a broader long tail of specific homeowner questions.
Phone inquiry snapshot
Our call tracking went live on June 4, 2026, so we only have a partial month of phone data and the sample is small. In that first June window we received 6 phone inquiries, and every one was answered. That’s a real but small number, so we won’t extrapolate a demand rate from it. It’s the baseline we’ll compare against in the October refresh, when a full quarter of call data will be available.
Frequently asked questions
How much does landscaping cost in San Antonio in 2026?
Per our published San Antonio cost guide, most homeowners spend between $3,000 and $25,000 depending on scope. Weekly mowing runs $35 to $55 per visit, a new sprinkler system runs $2,800 to $5,500, xeriscaping runs $5 to $18 per square foot, and a paver patio runs $14 to $28 per square foot. Fully designed yards reach $30,000 and up.
When is the best time to book landscaping work in San Antonio?
Our cost guide points to spring (March to May) and fall (September to November), when milder temperatures help new sod, plants, and xeriscape establish. Oak pruning belongs in the July through January window, never in the February to June oak wilt season, and hardscape or irrigation can be installed almost any dry day.
Is landscaping demand rising in San Antonio?
Yes, sharply. Search impressions for this site rose about 277% from the first four weeks of our tracking window (mid May 2026) to the last four completed weeks (through late June), with the strongest week reaching 2,594 impressions, roughly eight times the May weekly baseline. June phone inquiries (6 calls) are a small sample but point the same direction.
Method note
The numbers in this report come from three sources: this site’s own call tracking (live since June 4, 2026, so the June phone sample is small), Google Search Console impression data for this site covering 2026-05-10 through 2026-07-05, and this site’s own published San Antonio cost guide. Everything reported here is an aggregate; no personal information about callers or searchers is collected or published. Next refresh: October 2026.

Methodology
Data window: 2026-05-10 through the week of 2026-06-28 (completed weeks only; the current partial week is excluded from all trend math). Sources: this site’s Google Search Console impressions (weekly totals for this domain only), this business’s call-tracking line (inbound call counts, aggregates only, live since 2026-06-04), and our published San Antonio cost guide for all price figures. Trend percentages compare the first four completed weeks of the window against the last four. Where a sample is small (for example, a first month of call tracking), the report says so rather than extrapolating. No personal information is collected or reported; all figures are aggregates. Compiled by San Antonio Pro Landscape; next scheduled refresh: October 2026.
