    VHS designed and built our entire backyard, and the result is better than we imagined. The project included a new pool with decking, a covered pergola for shade, landscape lighting, new sod across the whole yard, an updated sprinkler system, and a diverse mix of plantings including palms and large magnolias. They also built raised garden beds for us, which has become one of our favorite parts of the yard.<br><br>What set the team apart was the design process. They listened to what we wanted, added their own experience and knowledge, and shaped it into a layout that flows naturally from one area to the next. They also thought through the things we would not have, like drainage and how each part of the yard would actually get used.<br><br>Jose was an outstanding project manager. He kept everything on track, made sure every detail was done properly, and never hesitated to go the extra mile when something needed a second look. This is a company you can trust. They will make sure everything is to your liking and go beyond what you expect to get the end result right.<br><br>Now that the weather has cooled off, we are out there most evenings. If you are looking for a team that can take a backyard from concept to finished space, we highly recommend VHS.

    We couldn’t be happier with VHS Outdoor Living! Their landscape design team did an incredible job bringing our vision to life. The 3D renderings are absolutely stunning, with exceptional creativity and attention to detail. They’ve made us even more excited about our upcoming outdoor transformation!<br><br>VHS also did a fantastic job installing our new cedar fence. The craftsmanship is excellent, and the finished product looks beautiful!<br><br>From creative design to quality workmanship, VHS Outdoor Living has exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them and can’t wait to see the rest of our project come to life!

    After a less than stellar design effort from the first landscape contractor that we hired to revise the front and back yards we came across VHS. From our very first consultation meeting with them we realized that this was a company attentive to our wants, responsive to our concerns, and provided valuable information and alternatives for our project.<br><br>As we proceeded thru the design process there was constant communications with them and quick resolutions of any identified issues. When we received the design all the issues had been incorporated that had been previously discussed and agreed upon.<br><br>Prior to the installation we always knew where our project stood in the cue of projects before ours. Once the installation commenced, the crew diligently pursued the work. We were in contact with the project manager almost on a daily basis and when he wasn't physically here, he was responsive to our text and phone calls.<br><br>It was important to us that the outdoor space incorporated different textures, colors, and was also appealing to hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. The results exceeded our expectations and has greatly enhanced the curb appeal of our home.

    Over 2 years ago, VHS designed and installed the landscaping for our new home on an acre in Boerne. Not only did they do a beautiful job which gets many comments, they are still responsive and helpful for minor repairs to lighting, irrigation and fencing and have made many great suggestions to further enhance and maintain our grass, trees and plants. I highly recommend VHS - you can’t beat them for good follow-up client services.

    We recently hired VHS Outdoor Living for a major renovation of our home landscaping, and this was our first experience with the company — but it definitely won’t be our last.<br>I normally handle all of my own landscaping projects, but this one exceeded my capabilities. From start to finish, VHS exceeded every expectation we had.<br>My initial contact was with Sean Ferguson, who met with me to discuss the scope of the project. Sean was incredibly knowledgeable, offered excellent ideas, and helped us visualize exactly what we wanted to achieve. He remained actively involved throughout the project, visiting the site multiple times and always responding promptly to texts and emails.<br>VHS assigned a four-man crew to the project, and they were outstanding. The crew was professional, courteous, punctual, and worked hard throughout each day. They took exceptional care to avoid disturbing existing landscaping outside the project area and kept the worksite clean and organized at the end of every day, neatly storing equipment off to the side of the property.<br>What impressed me most was their attention to detail and pride in their work. Whenever questions came up, they consulted with me to ensure everything was done exactly right. Near the end of the project, there were several cleanup items I assumed I would need to handle myself, but the crew took care of everything — including removing tire marks from the driveway left by their small tracked loader. They even swept residual mulch dust from the street and washed down the area in front of our home.<br>It’s rare today to find a company that combines professionalism, communication, craftsmanship, and customer service at this level. VHS Outdoor Living delivered on all of it, and I highly recommend them for any landscaping project.

    We are extremely impressed with the exceptional landscaping work and thoughtful design by VHS. The attention to detail and overall execution truly exceeded our expectations. Jose’s professionalism throughout the process was outstanding, and his insight played a pivotal role in shaping a cohesive and inspired design concept. His ability to understand our vision and elevate it into something remarkable made the entire experience both seamless and rewarding. In a world where many contractors seem focused solely on the bottom line, VHS stands out as a trusted partner that genuinely cares about the details. thank you Jose!!!

Company Background

About VHS Outdoor Living

VHS Outdoor Living is a design and build company at 14726 Bulverde Rd in ZIP 78247. Its site says it was founded in 1999 by Chris, a San Antonio native who started at 15 by mowing lawns for elderly neighbors, and that it has worked in San Antonio and the Hill Country for nearly 30 years. The logo carries the line Est. 1999.

Decks have their own page on the site. VHS Outdoor Living designs and builds grade level and elevated decks in cedar and composite, large entertainment decks sized around the furniture, and the stairs and railings that go with them, and it says elevated decks get proper structural support and engineered plans when needed. It also builds sheds, backyard studios, playhouses and casitas. The page walks through the upkeep tradeoff between cedar, which needs regular staining and sealing, and composite, which costs more up front.

Other services on the site include landscape design with 3D renderings, outdoor kitchens, pergolas, landscape lighting, sod, irrigation, drainage and grading, tree pruning by certified arborists, and fencing. The fencing page lists cedar privacy fences in standard and board on board styles, horizontal slat fences in cedar or composite, iron and custom steel fencing, aluminum fencing, and custom pedestrian and driveway gates with optional automatic operators. Byron, a team member profiled on the site, is described as having 40 years in the irrigation industry and a TCEQ irrigator licence, though no licence number is printed. Service areas named include Alamo Heights, Stone Oak, Terrell Hills, Helotes, Boerne, Bulverde, Cibolo, Schertz and New Braunfels.

Reviewers describe projects from small to large. One had a whole backyard designed and built with a pool deck, covered pergola, lighting, new sod across the yard, an updated sprinkler system and a mix of plants. Another, with water restrictions in mind, had Jose and his team turn grass areas into flower beds, arriving on time and cleaning up. A third said Chris listened to what they wanted after other landscapers could not grasp it. Reviewers also call the 3D renderings detailed and creative.

VHS Outdoor Living holds 4.8 from 59 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026. Hours are Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed weekends.

It suits homeowners planning a cedar or composite deck as part of a full backyard, with design drawings from a long-established firm. It suits less well anyone shopping for the lowest price on a small deck repair or weekend scheduling. Before booking, ask for the decking material and framing details in writing, whether the deck needs engineered plans and a City of San Antonio permit, how change orders are handled, and the warranty terms the site says it covers on its FAQ page.
