Preparing Beds for Summer 2015...

Summer will be here before we know it! March is the perfect time to be thinking ahead for summer landscaping in Hill Country Texas. It is recommended that your landscape consist of no more than 1/3 turf, 1/3 hardscape and 1/3 planting beds. This is the most time saving and economical solution for drought resistant results. 


The main thing to remember for low maintenance and savings as well, is natural! Xeriscaping will save you money and a lot of work. Trees, bushes and flowers that are native to the San Antonio area are naturally beautiful and low maintenance. 

Keep in mind if you are planting for shade or direct sun and how large a plant will be when full grown. Plant according to full grown size. Also consider deer resistant plants. While no plant is totally deer resistant, there are some that are less appealing to the "dears". 

If it is possible, a natural garden is an excellent choice. This will encourage butterflies, birds and other colorful friends to visit and is virtually maintenance free. Sunflowers are colorful and exciting in a garden. Senna roemeriana, damainita and a variety of daisies are just a few of many available drought resistance beauties.

Prepare now for relaxing summer months of enjoying your updated outdoor living space. Contact Burroughs Landscaping to combine your ideas with their expertise to gain the most enjoyment of your yard and gardens this summer.

Comanche Trace

Comanche Trace, Texas Hill Country's newest housing community, is booming! And Burroughs Landscaping is right in the middle of it all. 

Located in Kerrville, this lovely neighborhood has small town values yet close proximity to all the convenience of a major city.  In 1978 Bobby Shelton bought the property and named it Comanche Trace, an example of his love for horses and his respect for the Comanche as great horsemen. This land served as headquarters for his many businesses. The Pinnacle Grill, with amazing views of Texas Hill Country, was the company cafeteria.

The homes here are located not only by expansive Hill Country views, but also by an award winning championship golf course.

There are 25 new homes scheduled to begin being built in the next 12 months. Burroughs is excited to have already begun landscaping the new construction. Specializing in xeriscaping and drought resistant plants, it is exciting to see the phenomenal ideas they have.

Xeriscaping in the Fall...

Xeriscaping is quickly becoming popular in the San Antonio / Hill Country area. It is a way of landscaping that promotes water conservation, which is all important in our region.

Burroughs Landscaping has all the answers to convert your yard and garden. They combine your wants with their knowledge in planning what your landscape will look like during each season of the year.

Fall is a great time to evaluate any changes that may need to be made. Burroughs provides native plants, shrubs and trees that are the most drought resistant. These same plants will entice visitors such as birds and butterflies to inhabit your yard.

To avoid excessive watering in the summer, now may be the time to re-evaluate the amount of turfgrass you have. A good rule is no more than one-third of your landscape should be grass, and Burroughs knows the best type of grass to use.

Mike and his team will recommend  everything from irrigation to mulch to maintenance. Fall is the ideal time for the team to transplant any existing plants to a more accommodating location. Mulch will protect roots of plants and trees during potentially harsh winter months. This is the perfect solution for leaves. Leaf mulch reduces water evaporation and adds nutrients. This is a great solution rather than bagging leaves. 

There are unlimited options with stone paths, walls, patios, etc. Visit Burroughs Landscaping today to assist in your fall landscaping adventures.
