Landscaping & Landscape Design in San Antonio, TX
Many of us want to update the look of our yard, but don’t have the time, tools or knowledge to make it happen. While some homeowners have a design in mind, others aren’t even quite sure where to start. No matter what you want out of your new yard, you can rely on ABC Home & Commercial Services for help with your landscaping in San Antonio. Our pros can transform your yard with your needs and your budget in mind.
You name the project or task in your yard; we can probably do it.
ABC’s experienced and skilled designers have taken on all kinds of landscape projects in San Antonio, both large and small, including:
- Adding plants, either edible, native, ornamental or a combination of all three.
- Creating depth with raised beds, shrubs, terracing or trees.
- Defining spaces with patios, water features and more.
- Handling regular maintenance, such as brightening up features and replacing plants that are dead or dying.
- Improving drainage, which is particularly important since the San Antonio soil isn’t always the best at absorbing water. We can help you come up with creative solutions, so your yard doesn’t become a pond and attract mosquitoes and other unwanted pests.
- Incorporating masonry with driveways, firepits, fireplaces, garden walls, outdoor kitchens and pavers.
- Increasing shade with natural elements or features like awnings.
- Installing outdoor lighting not only as a safety feature, but also to highlight the natural beauty of your yard.
- Masking noise from nearby businesses or busy roads.
- Putting in paths, stepping stones or walkways.
- Substituting plants to attract birds and butterflies, achieve a specific effect or make them low-maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does ABC charge to come look at my property?
Absolutely nothing. As part of our service, the first thing we do after you get in contact with us is to schedule a time for an ABC landscape designer to meet with you at your home and get the lay of the land. At this meeting, you can speak more specifically with the designer about what you’re looking for and your budget.
After seeing the area you want help with and listening to you, our designer will put together a proposal for you that details the scope of the job and includes that estimated total cost. Both the meeting with the designer and the estimate come completely free. In fact, you won’t have to pay until you agree to the proposal and we get started.
Once the project begins, the designer will be the one overseeing the work through to completion.
Can landscaping really make a difference in how I use my outdoor spaces?
Changes you make in your lawn can, and often do, completely transform your home’s exterior and encourage you to spend more time in these new outdoor living areas. Here’s an example of a recent ABC landscaping project:

Does ABC work with water-wise and drought-resistant plants in San Antonio?
Absolutely. At ABC, we’re big believers in marrying environmental friendliness with aesthetic beauty. If you’re looking to decrease your water usage and create a yard that will thrive with little help from you, our designers can definitely help. Some of our most common suggestions include using native plants with low-water needs and succulents as well as incorporating artificial turf, rock and stone into your landscaping plan.
Does my landscaping have to be completed all at once?
ABC Home & Commercial Services frequently works with homeowners to divide their landscaping design plan into stages. Our goal is to make sure we break up the plan in such a way that you are able to spread out the cost over time while still making sure that each individually completed stage looks good on its own.
Does someone need to be home while ABC landscape designers do their work?
No. In fact, the only time you really need to be there is for that initial consultation, so you can clearly communicate with the designer about what you want. Once you sign off on the design plan (including the estimate), our landscaping team can come and implement it, whether you’re there, at work, enjoying the San Antonio Zoo with your kids or grandkids or sharing a plate of nachos with your partner at your favorite restaurant.
There are only a couple of things we ask our customers to do if you’re not going to be home:
- Make sure pets and kids are inside (to keep them safe and let us do the job), and
- Give us any info we need to gain access to your neighborhood or yard without you.

“We had the best experience from beginning to end with ABC. From making the appointment to the inspection to the actual service. Mario was very pleasant and professional. He let us know he was on the way and was prompt to arrive. He was thorough and explained everything he was doing and also provided pictures of issues encountered. His expertise was reassuring and I would most definitely use their services again. I would highly recommend them to everyone.”

“Brandon has been cleaning our windows and gutters now for several years. He is very detailed oriented and we know exactly what the work will entail before it is started. I always look forward to seeing him when he comes. He is very personable, kind and interested in his clients and their families. He is not just providing a service, but building relationships, both with his clients and team members. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and you know that your requested work will be completed with utmost care. I thoroughly trust his judgement and recommendations. Sometimes the work we thought was needed wasn’t necessary, while other times he noted things that did need attention. Either way he always provided great advice.”
