Landscaping a Growing Northeast Suburb
Schertz sits northeast of San Antonio along I-35 and FM-3009, spread across three counties, Guadalupe, Comal, and Bexar, and anchored by its proximity to Randolph Air Force Base. It has grown steadily into one of the area’s most popular family suburbs, with wave after wave of new subdivisions and a strong sense of community. That means a lot of our Schertz work is establishing young landscapes and keeping HOA neighborhoods looking sharp.
The soil is the heavy clay common to this side of the metro, and the climate is the same hot, dry, warm-season setting as the rest of South-Central Texas.
Warm-Season Lawns and HOA Standards
Schertz lawns are warm-season turf: St. Augustine for shade tolerance and Bermuda for full-sun durability, with Zoysia where a denser lawn is wanted. We mow at the right height, feed on a warm-season schedule, and stay ahead of the chinch bugs and brown patch that thrive in the heat. For the many HOA neighborhoods, we provide consistent, tidy maintenance, clean edging, healthy beds, dependable weekly service, that meets community standards.
On new construction, we establish young turf properly and help homeowners move past builder-grade landscaping into real beds and shade.
Clay Soil and Efficient Irrigation
Schertz’s heavy clay swells and shrinks with the weather, which stresses both plantings and any hardscape built on it, so we soil-prep accordingly and base patios and walls on a properly compacted foundation. Irrigation follows local watering restrictions, so we install and tune weather-based controllers with drip in the beds, keeping turf healthy within the allowed schedule.
