Your Yard Could Be Feeding You
VHS Outdoor Living designs and installs edible garden spaces for homeowners across San Antonio, Boerne, Helotes, Stone Oak, and surrounding communities. We build raised garden beds using wood, metal troughs, and other materials, prepare them with the right soil, and help position them for sun, water access, and how they'll fit into the rest of your yard. We can also incorporate fruit trees, herbs, and other edible plants into larger landscape projects.
Ready to Roll Up Your Sleeves?
Most yards have a corner, a side bed, or a sunny strip that isn't doing much. An edible garden puts that space to work. Herbs off the back porch.
Tomatoes in a raised bed. A fig tree that earns its spot in the landscape every summer. It doesn't have to take over the yard. One well-placed raised bed can give you plenty of room to experiment, and a few fruiting or edible plants can be worked right into the landscape. We set up the space. What you grow from there is up to you.
Growing in San Antonio
San Antonio isn't always the easiest place to start a garden in the ground. Soil conditions can vary from heavy clay to shallow limestone, and our summer heat makes the location of a garden especially important.
Raised beds give you more control over the things you can control: the soil, drainage, location, and access to water. We help you get those pieces right so when you're ready to plant, you're starting with a better setup.

Garden Services for South Texas Yards
We build and install raised beds sized for your space, filled with the right soil mix for South Texas growing conditions. Whether it's one bed or several, we set it up so it's actually productive from the start.
Raised Beds
If irrigation is part of the project, we can plan water access for the raised beds so keeping them watered doesn't depend entirely on dragging out a hose.
Garden Irrigation
Fruit trees, herbs, and other edible plants can sometimes be incorporated into a larger landscape plan rather than kept in a separate vegetable garden.
Edible Plantings
Do I need a raised bed or can I plant directly in the ground? Both work, depending on what you're growing. Raised beds give you more control over soil quality, drainage, and depth, which matters a lot in San Antonio where native soil can be tough on edibles. In-ground planting works well for fruit trees, perennial herbs, and some shrubs that are suited to local conditions.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Do you plant the vegetable garden for me? We build and prepare the garden space, but choosing and planting your seasonal vegetables is usually up to you. We'll help you think through the location, sun, soil, water access, and overall setup so you have a good place to start growing.
Will an edible garden require a lot of maintenance? It depends on what you plant. Perennial herbs and fruit trees are low maintenance once established. Annual vegetables need more attention through the growing season.

Irrigation
Edible gardens need consistent water to produce. We design irrigation that covers your beds and plantings correctly so you're not relying on a hose and good intentions.
