Johnson Ranch Landscape · Knowledge Hub

Hill Country landscaping, answered straight.

What things cost, what plants live, what drainage actually fixes. These guides come off 30 years of installs around Bulverde — not a content mill. If a guide raises a question about your property, get a real quote. We don't guess on price, and neither should you.

Cost & Planning

What it runs · how to budget

Honest market ranges and the factors that move them — so you walk into a quote knowing what's reasonable for the Hill Country, where the rock and the slope live.

Drainage & Grading

Water management

Caliche and limestone don't drain like topsoil. How we move water off a Hill Country property without turning the yard into a trench.

Planting & Lawns

Native plants · turf · sod

What actually lives in thin alkaline soil, deer pressure, and a 100-degree August — and what's a waste of money. Plus the turf-vs-grass question everyone asks.

Hardscape & Stone

Patios · walls · stonework

Limestone, flagstone, retaining walls, patios. How material and build choices hold up in Hill Country freeze-thaw and runoff.

Maintenance & Stewardship

Keeping it alive

Organic-first care — soil, water, and the long-arc work that grows a property's value instead of just mowing it. Handled by our Estate Enhancement crew.
