Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Shavano Park properties.
Shavano Park is its own incorporated city inside the San Antonio metro, not a subdivision of it, and that matters the moment you start digging or planting. It runs its own permitting separate from San Antonio, and within its roughly three square miles you will find several distinct neighborhoods, some gated like Bentley Manor and The Huntington, each with its own HOA status, lot size, and utility setup. Before we design anything on a Shavano Park lot, we find out which neighborhood rules apply and whether the water comes from the city's own utility or from SAWS.
These are big lots, often a half acre and sometimes several acres, shaded by mature live oaks that have been there since before most of the city existed. That canopy keeps the ground cooler but also means a lot of the yard is not real sun turf, so shade-tolerant plantings and mulched beds tend to outperform a conventional lawn under the trees. Underneath the shade is the usual Central Texas combination, thin soil over limestone shelving with shrink-swell clay in places, which affects how water drains and how irrigation lines should be laid out. Deer live here year round, not just passing through, so anything we plant has to hold up to them, and young trunks need protection.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Shavano Park property starts with a free on-site walk of the lot, usually scheduled within 48 hours, where we confirm the water provider, check whether there is a septic field to design around, and look at the oaks for any oak wilt risk before we talk layout. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and we handle landscaping and design, tree service, lawn and property maintenance, irrigation and drainage, hardscapes, lighting, land clearing and grading for both residential and commercial properties.
We come out and walk the lot with you, usually within 48 hours of your call, and the estimate is free with no obligation. Because Shavano Park has several distinct neighborhoods, each with its own water provider and some on homeowner-maintained septic, we spend part of that visit confirming which setup your lot has before we sketch anything. Call (737) 404-9343 to get on the schedule.
Yes. Shavano Park is its own incorporated city, not a San Antonio neighborhood, and it handles its own permitting. Water comes from the city's own utility in some neighborhoods and from SAWS in others, and sewer service also differs by neighborhood, with some lots on homeowner-owned septic systems. We confirm both before designing irrigation or hardscape, since either answer changes the plan.
Most Shavano Park lots sit under heavy live oak canopy, so a lot of the yard is shaded rather than open sun turf, and shade-tolerant grass or mulched beds generally hold up better than trying to force a full lawn under the trees. Underneath it all is thin soil over limestone with shrink-swell clay in spots, so irrigation needs to work with that ground rather than oversaturate it.
We do tree work on these wooded lots regularly, and oaks take extra care here because oak wilt is present in the San Antonio area and spreads through root grafts and fresh wounds. We avoid pruning in the high-risk spring window, paint cuts immediately, and sterilize tools between trees. Shavano Park is also a Tree City USA, so we check with City Hall on permitting before major pruning or removal.
We work throughout the San Antonio metro along the I-35 corridor, and Shavano Park's large wooded lots are exactly the kind of property our crews handle most, from tree care to drainage to lawn and bed maintenance. Every lot gets looked at on its own terms given the differences in HOA rules, water provider, and septic versus sewer across the city's neighborhoods.
