San Antonio sits at the edge of the Edwards Plateau, where the Texas Hill Country meets the South Texas Plains. This creates a split in soil types across the metro. Properties north and northwest of town, toward Boerne and the Hill Country, tend to sit on shallow rocky limestone. Properties south and east of downtown have heavier clay soil. The soil on your property affects drainage, watering needs, and how your grass grows.
Bermuda is the workhorse grass for most San Antonio lawns. It handles the heat, tolerates the clay, and stays green from March through November with proper care. St. Augustine is popular in shadier yards and under tree canopies, especially in older neighborhoods like Alamo Heights, Terrell Hills, and Olmos Park. Zoysia and Buffalo grass appear on properties where homeowners want lower water usage.
The San Antonio growing season is one of the longest in the country. Bermuda typically greens up in early March and stays active into late November. That is roughly 9 months of mowing. During June through August, growth is aggressive enough to need weekly attention without exception.
San Antonio also deals with SAWS (San Antonio Water System) watering restrictions during drought periods. When watering is limited, mowing height becomes your primary tool for lawn survival. Taller grass shades the soil, reduces evaporation, and helps roots access whatever moisture is available. Our crews are trained to mow at heights that support your lawn through restricted watering periods.
