Landscaping in San Marcos, Texas

Fall (October to November) and early spring (March to April) are the best times to landscape in Central Texas. Cooler temperatures let new sod, trees and plants establish roots before summer heat. We install year-round, but fall planting gives the strongest results and the lowest water needs.

Central Texas sits in USDA hardiness zones 8b to 9a, so drought-tolerant natives perform best: Texas sage, salvia, lantana, agave, yaupon holly, red yucca and ornamental grasses. Pairing these with native shade trees like live oak and cedar elm gives a landscape that thrives on less water.

Most residential landscaping projects in Central Texas range from a few thousand dollars for beds, sod and mulch to larger investments for full design-build installs. Final cost depends on your yard size, plant selection and hardscape. Corral Bros gives free, itemized estimates so you know the number before any work starts.
