About us

We are a LANDSCAPE DESIGN COMPANY. I have been doing Landscape Designs and installations of my designs in San Antonio & Surrounding areas since 1984. Yeah, that's a long time. But, I love it and my foreman says I can't retire until 2030, when his last girl gets outta high school. :) So...get it right on paper BEFORE any digging begins! 210.488.5321. Take a look at our BEFORE & AFTER PICTURES here: SALandscapes dot com. I will personally meet with you & spend as much time as necessary going over what you would like to do and what your options are. I have a massive portfolio of before & after pictures, on my laptop, that we can reference on our first visit to help you with ideas. We will then design your landscape either by hand, or by CAD. This is to make sure we like everything on paper "before" any digging begins. I'm amazed at how many landscapers skip, or pay little attention to this process. This is where we spend most of our time. This is also why I only do 1 appointment per day between 9am and 3pm. They can take some time. If this is done right, the actual installation is so much easier and smoother...and I have the best Landscaping Crew in San Antonio. Period. :) Folks, this is fun and I love doing this. I want you to have as much fun and love it as much as I do. Thank you, I look forward to working with you! - Steve

Steve, was very professional. You can tell he had been in the landscaping business for quite some time. He was very knowledgeable of the types of plants/scrubs that would work best in shade and sunlight. Comunicaaton between the two of us was great at first. We had communicated back and worth with one another for over a period of 3 months. My initial contact with Steve was in May. We scheduled an appointment for him to come out to my residence. He sketched a design for us which cost $175. He stated, "he would apply that cost to the total cost of the design. Again, we coversed back and forth for period of 3 months due asking a lot of questions about the different types of plants/scrubs, giving options for different plants/scrubs, adding to the design, taking away from the design, trying to get the budget down, etc. If I'm paying for this service, I want it done to my satsfaction. Out of those 3 months, Steve went on vacation for 3 weeks. However, he did informed me of that. When he got back from vacation, he didn't even contact. I made contact with him. I had called several times, no answer, so Ieft voice messages. No response,so I decided to email him. He finally responded to my email and explained that the best way to communicate with him is through email. You have a business phone that you don't anwer, and the best way to contact you is through email! Don't know why that is! We finally speak, since I had made many changes over the course of really 2 months; he had attached the original design and three proposals. He asked me to make changes and send them back to him. Instead I sent him an email with changes on 16 Aug about 5 days later. . I followed-up with him with a email on 21 Aug. No response, so I sent another email on 25 Aug. Still no response. I believe I also called and left a voice message as well. To this date, he has yet to respond to any of my emails or calls.
Description of Work: I requested to enhance the landscaping design I already had. Requested to extend one side of landscape bedding, trim and treat Crape Myrtle trees/Oak tree, add new plants/scrubs to existing design, new mulch, fabric liner, and border edge.

Response from San Antonio Landscaping And Design
I tried. I really did. I have been doing this for over 30 years and consider myself a very patient person. I understand people make changes, it's part of the process. Do it all the time. I've never had something like this tho. This was a very small job, maybe 1/2 day for my guys. Just adding some new plants and edging to a front bed. So, this could have been so easy, for both of us. I wish I could post all the emails. I have over 35 of them, from different email addresses (customer has a couple of different names) , most with lists of 10 or more changes. It finally got to the point I had no idea where we were with all the changes/lists. What part of what list did we keep, what lists did we throw out, etc. This is over 3 months and 35 emails. So I sent the original design back (which I thought was great, and so did she at the time,) so the customer could make changes on the actual design so we are both on the same page. Which, to this date, I have not received. I got back another list instead. lol. I have started thinking someone is testing me. Regarding the phone calls. The very first thing I tell everyone when I am handing them my card...is the best [Member Information Removed] to contact me is through email, which is on my card. I am talking to people all day long, so I don't answer my phone as much. And I am driving a lot, so I don't like to text. But, I answer my emails every day when I get back. Emails also give you a record of any advise I give. I tell everyone this, and I told her this the very first day when I handed her my card. So to say she doesn't "don't know why" I don't answer my phone a lot, is a little disingenuous. She absolutely does. Even with that, she called me several times when we were on vacation in New Mexico (which she knew)...that I answered. I just know someone is testing me ;) - Steve

Steve was extremely knowledgeable and genuinely excited about what he does. I'd highly recommend getting a quote from him.
Description of Work: I'm getting preliminary bids for a front yard landscaping project. I signed up for the $69 landscape consult and drawing offered through Angie's list. Steve (owner) gave me lots of ideas and a detailed drawing with plant names and positions as well as a detailed quote.

Thank you for reviewing us. As I stated when we made the appointment, they usually take an hour and half to go through everything. You were only able to spend 10 minutes with me and then left. I go over the design in detail after we finish so people understand it well. There's a lot going on in most of these designs so I like going over them with folks. Spending 10 minutes with me and the leaving with "Just email me the design when you're done," probably isn't the best use of either of our time. I know people have busy schedules, which is why I tell them during the appointment process, to try and schedule a day/time that will give us at least one and a half hours to go over everything. I want folks input so I can give them what they want. I have over 30 years of experience doing this and I'm pretty good at it. Stick around. :) Thanks - Steve

Excellent! Was actually fun discussing ideas and designing something that worked not only for the unique needs of the property but also mindful to fit in with existing neighboring property without clashing or looking out of place or odd. Great at discussing the pros and cons of different plants we considered. Told his preferences and why but ultimately let us decide. Great guy, great experience and would DEFINITELY highly recommend him. We will definitely be calling in a few weeks to be put on his schedule to execute the plans! You will be happy to use them and won't regret it!
Description of Work: Consultation for a landscaping project. Asked for our wants and desires and for what we didn't like. Provided layouts and plant ideas that were sketched. Was a pleasant, collaborative experience!

He was very meticulous in the design and paid particular attention to the areas of our years that received more and less direct sunlight. His crew completed all work in one day and completely transformed our blah yard into a beautiful space. His crew did fantastic work - cleaned up after the project and were in and out in one day. Steve provided a detailed "plan" for caring for our landscaping in the first few months to ensure everything was a success.
Description of Work: SA Landscaping & Design developed a landscaping plan for our home on the initial visit. Steve was very thorough in identifying what we were looking for in the landscaping project for both our front and back yards.

They were able to do a good job. We were very satisfied with their job. The price was a little on the high side, but it was worth it because they did a good job. They put a lot of work into it. They supplied the stones and everything. The material was very good. They were very responsive. The ground work was done very well. They were very punctual. The man that owned the company expressed himself very good as far as what all was going to be done. They were very professional. I would use them again. I really liked their responsiveness. There was nothing I can say I disliked from them.

Steve was running late but he called to let me know when he would be arriving. He was very thorough and knowledgeable. He provided a drawing that I could use which listed the hardscape materials and plants to use that gave me options I hadn't considered before. When I decide to get started on this project, I will definitely have him do the work.

Steve was very helpful and shared great ideas for the places we wanted to landscape. He was patient and had a good sense of design. He listened to what ideas we had and he improved on them. After the 90 minutes visit, we had hand drawn plans and estimates for what we discussed. There was no high pressure on using his services, but I will not hesitate to contact him when we are ready to move forward on the plans shared.

Very professional, helpful and courteous crew. It was a big job and completed in 2 days. Steve, followed up and on site to ensure everything was to our satisfaction. Cleared away all debris and plants and left the yard very tidy and beautiful. Gladly and quickly returned on my request to remove some plants in the bed that I originally asked remain. Our yard looks fantastic and would hire San Antonio Landscaping & Design again.
Description of Work: Landscaping drawings (plan) to redo backyard to include less grass, add flagstone paths and river rock, limestone block bed borders as well as mulching, removing old plants and adding several variety of plants that will do well based on sun/shade conditions.

Steve drafted a great hardscape with granite, big flagstone & tropical plants that do well in shade. We liked his design a lot so had him move forward with the install. His crew came out & knocked it out in about five hours! The quality of the work was excellent & looked exactly as Steve had drawn it up! Highly recommend Steve & his crew!

Steve was a total professional. Followed up on the appointment, answered all my questions, made good suggestions and showed me pictures to help me visualize what he had in mind. He referred me to other professionals for things he wasn't able to do. And - when I realized that we would need to do sprinkler installation before he began the work, he wasn't demanding or gouging or anything. He said "We'll be here." Really appreciate him!

He and the team met me early on the designated day and completed the job with accuracy, precision and professionalism. The total cost was just under $3000. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: I originally paid for Scott (owner) to come to the house and drawing a sketch of the backyard with his recommended landscaping. I then contracted him to lay a layer of dirt and solid sod the back yard. he also laid river rock around trees and against the house to provide for adequate water run-off. I also had his team lay a thin layer of compost on the rest of the yard (front and side).
