We've Got a Lot of Dirt on Us

And we’re happy to share.

We’ve spent nearly 30 years figuring out San Antonio yards. We’ll help you make sense of yours, point out things you may not have considered, and tell you where we think your money is best spent.

Where Every Great Project Starts

Landscape Design

Before anything gets built, it gets planned. We design around how you use your yard. Sunday cookouts, morning coffee on the patio, or play space for the kids. Good design is the difference between a yard you love and one you wish you'd done differently.

Your Yard should Feel Like Yours

Landscaping

From a full yard renovation to refreshing existing landscape beds, we design and install landscapes built for the Texas climate and the way you use your yard. That means the right plants, drainage that works, and spaces that hold up through summer.

Native Plants for this Zip Code

Xeriscaping

We design and install xeriscapes using native and drought-tolerant plants, grading that moves water away from your home, and mulch systems that reduce irrigation needs. Your yard can be low-maintenance without looking like it gave up.

Water Goes Where It's Supposed To

Drainage Solutions

Standing water isn't just inconvenient. Over time it can damage foundations, kill plants, and turn your yard into a muddy mess. We start by finding the source of the problem, then recommend the right solution, whether that's a French drain, regrading, a dry creek bed, or a combination.

A Healthy Yard Without Babysitting

Irrigation

A well-designed irrigation system keeps your yard healthy without wasting water or requiring constant attention. We install, repair, and tune up sprinkler and drip systems across San Antonio.

Green All Year 

Artificial Turf

A green lawn without mowing, watering, or mud. We install synthetic turf that looks realistic, drains well, and stands up to Texas summers. It's a low-maintenance solution for lawns, side yards, play areas, and custom putting greens.

Chainsaw Cutting Tree

Healthy Trees Make a Better Yard

Tree Care & Arbor Services

Trees are as much a part of the yard as anything we plant or build. Our certified arborists prune for health and structure, keep limbs clear of wires and fences, and catch problems before they spread. 

Garden Fresh Produce

Grow Something Worth Eating

Edible Gardens

We build raised garden beds in wood, metal troughs, and other materials, then help you find the right spot for them based on sun, access, drainage, and what you want to grow. We’ll get the garden ready. What you grow in it is up to you.

We have never encountered a more professional, detail oriented and quality company. We had multiple companies working on our property at the same time and VHS stood out by far. They were the first ones here and certainly the hardest working. Not a detail went untouched. We can’t recommend VHS enough and will most certainly work with them on any future projects.

Shawna T.

I can't fully express what a great experience it was. They delivered on everything they promised and more. They pivoted as needed and always listened to our thoughts or ideas. With a job this size you would expect some major issues but we had zero. VHS went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with the final product and that the budget was respected. 

Joe H.

VHS is world class. They show up and do the work when and as promised. They are flexible with their advice and timeline. Their estimates are detailed and professional. They do beautiful work. When unforeseen problems pop up, they take ownership, validate a path forward, and adjust as needed. I found their pricing more than reasonable.

A Patio You Want to Spend Time On

Patios & Hardscapes

A good patio gives you a reason to spend more time outside. We install pavers, stamped concrete, natural stone, and custom hardscape elements that hold up to Texas weather. Every project starts with a thorough site evaluation so the ground under your patio is just as solid as the surface.

Built for How You Entertain

Outdoor Kitchens

From a built-in grill station to a full outdoor kitchen with bar seating, we design and build around how you entertain.

We coordinate the gas, plumbing, electrical, countertops, and structure so everything works together.

Made in the Shade

Pergolas & Shade

A pergola or shade structure gives you a shaded spot to sit, eat, or just get out of direct sun. We design it around your home's architecture, matching proportions, materials, and lines so it feels like it was always there. We build in wood, steel, and aluminum, tailored to the way your house already looks.

If It Lives Outside, We Build It

Decks & Structures

Decks, covered porches, sheds, greenhouses, raised garden beds, and custom outdoor structures all fall within our scope. We design each one to work with your home. If you can picture it out there, we can probably build it.

A Solid Addition

Concrete

Driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, countertops, benches, planters, and more. We pour standard and decorative concrete for projects big and small, with the site prep, grading, and drainage considered right along with what you see on top.

Turn a Slope Into a Feature

Retaining & Seat Walls

A slope in your yard is either a problem or an opportunity depending on how it's handled. We build retaining and seat walls that manage grade, prevent erosion, and add usable space to your property.

Compact, Stylish Pool Solutions

Plunge Pools

Plunge pools bring the fun of a pool into a smaller footprint. We handle the design, installation, and surrounding landscape and hardscape to integrate it into your outdoor living space.

Good Fences Make Great Yards

Fencing & Gates

We install cedar, iron, horizontal slat, and cattle panel fencing along with custom gates and solar operators. Whether you need privacy, security, or something that just looks right with the rest of your yard, we will help you figure out what fits.

Beautiful by Day & by Night

Outdoor Lighting

Good outdoor lighting extends the hours you spend outside and makes your property look its best after dark. We design and install low-voltage landscape lighting, path lighting, accent lighting, and security lighting built to last.

Come Sit a While

Fire Features

A well-placed fire feature changes how a yard gets used. It’s what keeps people outside longer than they planned. We design and build fire pits and fire features sized to your space and how you entertain, wood-burning or gas, built-in or freestanding.

A Yard That Sounds as Good as it Looks

Water Features & Ponds

Fountains, waterfalls, ponds, and pondless features add movement, sound, and a natural focal point. We plan the scale, placement, and surrounding landscape so the finished feature feels like it belongs there.

Collect It. Store It. Use It.​

Water Reclamation & Rainwater Harvesting

San Antonio swings between drought and downpour. A rainwater harvesting system captures runoff from your roof and stores it for irrigation, reducing your dependence on SAWS water and lowering your monthly bill.

Custom Metalwork Built for the Outdoors

Metal Fabrication

We build custom metal pieces that are hard to find off the shelf, including iron and steel fencing, custom gates, Corten planters, and other fabricated elements for the yard. We also build aluminum pergolas for a clean, low-maintenance shade option.

The Backup Plan You Need

Home Generators

We install whole-home generators with concrete pad construction, electrical setup, and placement planned around the property. When the power goes out, yours is ready to take over.

You've Been Thinking About This Long Enough.

Most people put off their yard project a year or two longer than they planned. One thing we hear a lot when we're finished: “We wish we'd done this sooner.”
