Smart, Sustainable Landscaping Built for South Texas
Welcome to San Antonio Xeriscaping, your trusted local expert in water-wise landscaping solutions. We specialize in xeriscape landscaping—a modern approach to outdoor design that emphasizes low water use, natural beauty, and long-term sustainability. Whether you’re looking to replace your lawn, create a custom xeriscape garden, or build a beautiful desert backyard, our team delivers efficient, affordable, and visually striking results.
As drought conditions continue to affect Texas, more homeowners are turning to xeriscaping as a smart alternative to traditional lawns. In fact, according to the EPA, up to 70% of residential water usage in dry regions goes to outdoor irrigation. With xeriscape design, you can cut that number dramatically while still enjoying a lush and inviting yard.

“We brought in San Antonio Xeriscape to reimagine our front and backyard, and the outcome was beyond what we expected. Instead of a patchy, high-maintenance lawn, we now enjoy a vibrant xeriscape filled with native plants, stone pathways, and a beautiful dry creek feature. Their team clearly explained the xeriscaping process, answered all our questions, and guided us through every step of the design. The space feels like an outdoor retreat, and our water bill has dropped noticeably. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them!”
Janice K., Stone Oak
“I didn’t know much about xeriscaping at first, but this team made me a believer. They explained how to xeriscape a yard and guided me in choosing the right grasses, shrubs, and stones for my space. Eight months later, the yard still looks modern and well-kept, with almost no maintenance—even through winter. Truly one of the best landscaping choices I’ve ever made.”
Doug F., San Antonio
“San Antonio Xeriscape transformed our simple yard into a stunning desert-inspired retreat. They really listened to our vision and designed a layout with xeriscape bushes, drought-tolerant plants, and natural stone features. We wanted something modern but budget-friendly, and they delivered both beautifully. Neighbors constantly compliment the space, and I’m amazed at how affordable desert landscaping ideas were used to create such a high-end look. Absolutely outstanding work.”
Lianne Smith, Oak Park-Northwood
