Landscaping & Landscape Design in Alamo Heights, TX
Alamo Heights has a character all its own – tree-lined streets, historic homes, established neighborhoods, and a standard of appearance that residents take seriously. At San Antonio Landscape & Design, we work with Alamo Heights homeowners who want a landscape that lives up to that character. Not just maintained – designed. Not just planted – planned.
We bring a designer’s eye and a deep knowledge of Central San Antonio’s soil and climate conditions to every project in Alamo Heights. Whether your home is a classic bungalow on a 50-foot lot or a newer build on a larger parcel, we’ll create a landscape plan that fits.
Designed for Where You Live
Alamo Heights lots are often smaller and more contained than suburban counterparts – which means every square foot matters. A landscape design here has to be precise. The proportions have to be right. The plants have to be scaled correctly for the space. And the overall look has to feel cohesive and intentional.
That’s exactly the kind of design we produce. Our hand-drawn designs are created specifically for your property – your dimensions, your architecture, your existing trees and features – not adapted from a plan we’ve used somewhere else.
We schedule a consultation at your Alamo Heights home, walk the property, and spend 2 to 3 hours understanding the space and your vision. From there, we produce a fully custom hand-drawn landscape design and a complete itemized cost estimate. Both are yours to keep. Our designs carry a 95% HOA approval rate.

Planting Plans for Mature Urban Lots
Alamo Heights lots often have mature trees that create significant shaded areas where standard plant selections fail. We develop planting plans matched to the actual light and soil conditions on your specific lot.

Understanding Alamo Heights Soil and Growing Conditions
The soils in Alamo Heights vary – you’ll find classic San Antonio caliche and limestone in higher elevations, and heavier clay soils in lower spots. Mature tree canopy creates significant microclimates across a single lot. In shaded areas under live oaks and elms, we look to shade-tolerant Texas natives like Inland Sea Oats, Turk’s Cap, and Autumn Fern. In sunny borders, we favor drought-tolerant performers – Salvia, Rosemary, Lantana, and ornamental grasses – that give you color through the full growing season.Serving Alamo Heights and the 09 Communities
