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.
