Just moved into new home needing complete Landscaping redone. Any company suggestions and/or experiences would be helpful. Pricing information? Looking forward to an early fall installation. Thanks

What part of town? If I-10 West/Boerne area, I can assist with ideas for landscape companies.

Most landscape architects would tell you that you should plan to spend around 10% of the value of your home for a complete, high quality project. If it a low cost house, it may be more than that if you want it to look nice, but obviously the size of your lot matters and if you need irrigation installed.

For 1/2 acre to one acre lot communities, plan to spend between $15k-$25k for fairly basic landscaping (that's probably only 2%-4% of house value).

Here is a pic (hoping it works).

The house is v-shaped and the whole front yard on both sides has pavers. Small circular drive at corner. 2 big Monterrey Oaks on the left and the one on the right died due to the pavers. All the pavers need to come up. A very large Monterrey Oak installed on the right side (need shade). Want almost maintenance free. No flower beds. I looked around the neighborhood and asian jasmine mixed in with some bushes looked about right and thriving around here.

I'm near 281 and Bitters. Bought the house in February and downsizing. After 5 month total inside renovation moved in last week. Now ready for the outside front yard. The back yard is surrounded by a brick wall and perfect, so no work there.

Hope this helps and again thanks to everyone.

Can't seem to get the picture to work.

I just used Artistic Trees. They cleaned up my red oak and some bushes out front. They did great work for cheap. Plus hauled away all the trash/brush. Rene is the owner and gave me a free estimate before I scheduled the work.

Why not pay for a landscape plan and install and add to it as you can afford it?
