There is a seam in the earth running under this city. The Balcones Escarpment cuts across San Antonio's north side, where the flat coastal plain gives way to the limestone rise of the Hill Country, and plants on either side of that line live very different lives. Hill Horticulture Inc provides horticultural services and lawn care in a town split by that fault, where a shrub that thrives in deep soil may sulk on a rocky slope. Late November into December is when the escarpment shows off, Lacey oaks and Texas red oaks turning russet and scarlet along the ridges beneath a pale, clean sky. The season suits plant care, with shrubs pruned, beds tended and lawns readied for their mild winter rest, so everything wakes strong when warmth returns.
