Landscape Design & Build in Alamo Heights & Terrell Hills

Design-Build Landscaping in Alamo Heights

Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills and Olmos Park are known for established homes, mature live oaks and pecans, and front yards that set the tone for the whole street. Hole In One Lawns designs outdoor spaces that fit that character, then builds them with our own crews so the details come out the way they were drawn.

We work throughout the 78209 area, including homes near Broadway, Olmos Basin and the Terrell Hills streets east of New Braunfels Avenue, and we coordinate the city permits and architectural requirements these communities often require for walls, structures and lighting.

Recent Alamo Heights-Area Project

A recent Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills project transformed the front and side of a home with a large interlocking paver courtyard and drive court framed by white garden walls and a raised tree planter. Tan paver walkways bordered by river rock now wrap the house, with mulched shrub beds, exposed-aggregate stepping pads and bronze landscape path lights for evening.

What We Design & Build in Alamo Heights

Our Alamo Heights clients hire us for landscape design, paver patios and retaining walls, landscape lighting, pergolas, outdoor kitchens and fire pits, putting greens and artificial turf, drainage solutions, along with complete front-yard and backyard transformations. Every project includes a 3D design, a detailed proposal and a dedicated crew from start to finish.

Designing for Alamo Heights Conditions

• Mature trees. We design around existing live oaks and pecans, protecting root zones and using lighting and planting to feature them rather than fight them.
• Expansive clay soil. Central San Antonio’s black clay shrinks and swells. Proper excavation, base depth and drainage keep pavers and walks from heaving.
• City permits. Alamo Heights and Terrell Hills have their own permitting for walls, pergolas and other structures. We prepare drawings and coordinate the process.
• Curb appeal. Smaller, high-visibility lots reward crisp edges, layered planting and lighting that makes the home look finished at night.
