YEE-HAW LANDSCAPING

About YEE-HAW LANDSCAPING

Helotes wakes early in summer, and so does the mower — the first pass laid down while the limestone hills northwest of San Antonio still hold the cool of the night. YEE-HAW LANDSCAPING cuts, edges and trims in the live-oak shade along Helotes Creek, where a yard can run from thin caliche to thick turf in the space of a few steps. There is a real pleasure in the last blow-down: the walk swept bare, the drive edged in one unbroken line, clippings gone before the Bandera Road traffic thickens. Come fall the work turns to cleanups, lifting leaf litter off the St. Augustine before it mats, so the grass goes into the short days breathing. From Old Town Helotes out toward Grey Forest and Scenic Oaks, the idea stays the same week to week — leave behind a lawn that looks like somebody meant it.
