Reliable Landscaper in Spring Branch, TX
CJK Landscaping brings two decades of real hands-on experience to yards across the area. We’re a family-owned outfit that builds outdoor spaces to handle central Texas weather, rock-heavy soil, and long summer droughts. If you aren't happy with the end result, neither are we.
Twenty Years Working the Hill Country Soil
Getting a yard to look good in this part of Texas takes more than buying plants at a big-box store and sticking them in the dirt. Between Caliche clay, limestone ledge, and months without rain, local properties present real challenges. CJK Landscaping brings 20 years of local experience to every job. We know which plants survive July heat, how to move water away from your foundation during sudden downpours, and how to work with the ground instead of fighting it. Whether you need a simple cleanup after a storm or a complete yard re-design, we handle your property with the same care we give our own.
How We Help Your Yard Look Its Best
Planting & Bed Design
A great garden bed starts beneath the surface. We prep your soil properly before placing a single plant, mixing in organic material to help roots take hold in tough native ground. Our designs focus on native Texas perennials, vibrant flowers, and practical drip lines that conserve water while keeping plants alive through August heat.
Patios, Walkways & Retaining Walls
Rock and stone turn rough outdoor space into usable living areas. We lay flagstone patios, install gravel pathways, and build engineered retaining walls to fix sloped yards that wash out every time it rains. Proper base prep keeps your stone flat and steady for decades.
Fresh Sod
If your lawn is mostly weeds and bare dirt, fresh sod gives you an instant green yard. We scrape away dead growth, till the topsoil, correct slope issues, and roll out drought-tolerant turf varieties suited for local weather. Tightly laid seams and clear watering steps help roots establish fast.
Regular Mowing & Lawn Maintenance
Keeping up with lawn care in peak summer takes time away from your weekend. Our routine service takes care of the hard labor. We set mower decks to the right height for the heat, trim edges clean along walkways, clear weeds out of bed lines, and prune low-hanging tree branches.
Full Backyard Overhauls
If your back yard is an overgrown mess or just flat dirt, a complete remodel changes everything. We rethink the whole footprint—combining stone patios, custom garden beds, and fresh grass into a clean, functional layout. Our crew handles the dirt work, material delivery, and cleanup so you do not have to stress.
Drought-Proof Xeriscaping
You do not need a huge water bill to have a sharp-looking property. Xeriscaping replaces high-maintenance grass with river rock, native ornamental grasses, Texas sage, and stone features. It keeps your property clean and modern while dropping your monthly water usage significantly.
Mulch & Ground Cover
Texas sun bakes exposed soil quickly. Laying down a thick, even layer of dark organic mulch insulates root zones, holds moisture near plant bases, and stops weeds from popping up overnight. We spread clean mulch across garden beds and tree rings for a crisp finished look.
Custom Stone & Stonework
Stonework brings natural Hill Country style to your outdoor space. Our masons build stone borders around flower beds, set up custom outdoor fire pits, and construct freestanding seating walls using solid local stone. These permanent builds stand strong against weather and heavy use.

Where We Work
We provide dependable landscape work and lawn services for property owners across our local region.
Got Questions? We Have Answers.
What makes CJK different from other local lawn services?
We have spent over 20 years working directly in central Texas soil. Unlike basic turn-and-burn mowing crews, we handle everything from heavy stone masonry to site drainage and turf installation. We take time to evaluate your soil structure and sun exposure before making recommendations, and we don't pack up our trucks until you are completely happy with the result.
Do you take on residential jobs right here in Spring Branch?
Yes. Spring Branch and surrounding Comal County neighborhoods are right in our backyard. We work with homeowners daily on custom garden updates, sod installs, retaining walls, tree pruning, and irrigation fixes. Working locally means we arrive on schedule and know exactly how county land and soil react to changing weather.
Why is xeriscaping so popular around here?
Xeriscaping fits the Texas Hill Country perfectly because it stops water waste without sacrificing curb appeal. By pairing heat-hardy native plants with river rock, crushed limestone, and deep mulch, you get a clean landscape that handles 100-degree summer weeks without turning brown or sending water bills through the roof.
What's included in a standard maintenance visit?
Our regular maintenance visits keep your lawn looking sharp without you having to lift a finger. We handle mowing, edge-trimming along driveways and beds, string trimming fence lines, and pulling weeds from plant beds. We can also schedule seasonal mulch top-offs, tree branch trimming, and quick irrigation system checks.
Do you handle custom stonework and hardscapes?
Custom stonework is a big part of what we do. We build flagstone patios, stone fire pits, retaining walls, and decorative garden borders using natural stone built to last. Our crew takes extra care with sub-base preparation so your stone features remain stable through freeze-thaw cycles and heavy rain.
How long does a typical backyard overhaul take?
Smaller jobs like rolling out new sod or refreshing garden beds usually take two to three days. Larger renovations that include patio builds, site grading, or full masonry can run one to two weeks depending on complexity. We give you a realistic schedule before we start and keep you posted daily on our progress.
Is mulch really necessary for Hill Country garden beds?
Mulch is essential in central Texas. A three-inch layer insulates delicate plant roots against scorching summer heat and winter freezes. It also traps moisture in the dirt so you water less often, keeps weeds from taking root, and breaks down over time to enrich rocky soil.
Are your project estimates free?
Yes, all our estimates are free. We come out to your property, measure the site, check slope and ground conditions, and chat about your goals. Afterward, we send over a clear breakdown of costs so you know exactly what to expect. Give us a call at 830-354-6125 to get your estimate scheduled.
