Landscape design pricing depends on the size of your property and the complexity of the project. Smaller residential designs typically start lower, while full-property 3D designs with multiple outdoor living features are priced based on scope. We provide a transparent quote after your free consultation.

Most San Antonio landscape designs are completed within one to three weeks after the consultation, depending on revisions and project complexity. Once the design is approved, we schedule installation based on current crew availability.

Yes. Every design client receives a photorealistic 3D rendering so you can visualize your future patio, pavers, pergola, outdoor kitchen, or landscape before we build it. Adjustments are easy to make at the design stage, before materials are ordered.

We install a full range of pavers including Belgard, Pavestone, travertine, flagstone, and natural stone options. Whether you want a clean modern patio, a rustic Hill Country look, or a luxury pool deck, we'll match the right paver to your design and budget.

When properly installed with a quality base and polymeric sand, paver patios can last 25 to 50 years or more in San Antonio's climate. Pavers handle our hot summers, expansive clay soils, and occasional freezes better than poured concrete because individual stones can be lifted and reset without replacing the entire patio.

Both options have strengths. Pavers are more durable, easier to repair, and add greater resale value, while stamped concrete is typically less expensive upfront. We help homeowners choose the right option based on budget, design preferences, and how the patio will be used.

Yes. We design and install engineered retaining walls for sloped yards, drainage challenges, and Hill Country properties throughout the San Antonio area. We use proper base materials, drainage, and geo-grid where required to ensure long-term stability.

Custom outdoor kitchens can include built-in grills, smokers, refrigerators, ice makers, sinks, kegerators, pizza ovens, stone or stucco facades, granite or stone countertops, bar seating, and lighting. We design each outdoor kitchen around how you actually entertain.

Outdoor kitchen pricing varies widely based on appliances, size, and finishes. Basic built-ins start lower, while full luxury outdoor kitchens with premium grills, countertops, and bar seating can scale up significantly. We provide itemized quotes so you know exactly what you're paying for.

Most permanent structures attached to your home require a permit in San Antonio and surrounding municipalities. We handle the permitting process so you don't have to worry about paperwork or HOA approvals.

Yes. We engineer every pergola and patio cover to handle San Antonio's heat, sun exposure, wind, and occasional severe storms. We use rust-resistant fasteners, weather-sealed finishes, and proper anchoring to ensure decades of enjoyment.

We design and install path lighting, uplighting for trees and architectural features, deck and step lights, patio and pergola lighting, bistro string lights, pool lighting, and security lighting. We use professional-grade, low-voltage LED systems built for the Texas climate.

Installed artificial turf typically ranges based on the type of turf, drainage base, and site preparation needed. We provide a detailed per-square-foot quote after a free on-site evaluation of your yard.

Wood decking offers a classic, natural look but requires regular staining and sealing. Composite decking, made from recycled wood fibers and plastic, requires almost no maintenance, resists fading and rot, and typically lasts 25 to 50 years - ideal for the harsh Texas sun.

Premium composite decking, including TimberTech, Trex, and Fiberon, is engineered to last 25 to 50 years even in the intense San Antonio sun. Most products carry 25 to 50 year manufacturer warranties against fading and staining.

Yes. Padel is one of the fastest-growing sports in the country, and Hole In One Landscapes specializes in residential and commercial padel court installations throughout the San Antonio area, including glass walls, professional turf, and lighting.

San Antonio yards often flood due to a combination of clay-heavy soils, poor grading, downspout discharge, and heavy seasonal rains. We diagnose the root cause and design drainage solutions tailored to your property.

We install French drains, channel drains, dry creek beds, catch basins, downspout extensions, sump pumps, swales, and full re-grading. Most projects combine two or three solutions for the best long-term result.

French drain pricing depends on length, depth, and outlet location. Most residential French drain projects are quoted based on linear footage after an on-site evaluation of how water moves through your yard.

Xeriscaping is a landscape design approach that uses drought-tolerant plants, efficient irrigation, mulches, and decorative rock to dramatically reduce water use while still creating a beautiful, low-maintenance yard - ideal for the San Antonio climate.

A well-designed xeriscape can reduce outdoor water use by 50 to 75% compared to traditional turf-heavy landscaping, lowering both your water bill and your maintenance time.

Yes. SAWS (San Antonio Water System) offers WaterSaver Landscape Coupons and rebates for qualifying drought-tolerant landscape conversions. We can help you plan a design that maximizes your rebate eligibility.

The most popular grasses for San Antonio lawns are St. Augustine (shade-tolerant, lush), Bermuda (sun-loving, durable), and Zoysia (low maintenance, drought-tolerant). We help you choose the right sod based on sun exposure, foot traffic, and water goals.

Light foot traffic is fine after the first two weeks. Avoid heavy use for the first four to six weeks while roots establish. We provide a complete watering and care schedule with every sod installation.

Yes. We provide year-round property maintenance for residential and commercial clients, including mowing, edging, mulching, trimming, seasonal cleanups, fertilization, and bed maintenance. Ask about our maintenance plans during your consultation.
