Local service
Proudly serving Martindale
Martindale sits along the San Marcos River, a compact community of older homes and newer subdivisions on mostly flat, sandy loam ground. The heat and humidity of Central Texas push grass fast, and the mature trees drop leaves well into late fall. Many properties here have deep front yards and fenced backyards, with a mix of post-war ranch houses and modern tract homes. The work demands steady mowing cycles, careful trimming around flower beds and driveways, and a close eye on weed pressure in the warm months.
Our crew loads up each morning at the shop and heads north on Old Bastrop Highway, arriving with a full set of mowers, trimmers, blowers, and hand tools. We work on site, cutting and edging the lawn, trimming hedges and shrubs, then clearing all clippings and debris before we leave. Because Martindale is only a ten-minute drive, we can schedule regular weekly or biweekly visits without adding travel time to the bill. We keep the truck tidy and the noise down in the tighter streets, and we always close gates behind us.
Humble Landscapes works across San Marcos, TX and the surrounding communities, so a crew is never far from Martindale. Call (512) 574-3057 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Martindale homeowners call us for
Lawn Mowing
Flat, open lots and sandy soil mean grass grows fast here. We cut on a regular schedule, bag clippings or mulch them depending on the season and the homeowner's preference.
Hedge Trimming
Mature hedges line many older Martindale properties. We shape ligustrum, boxwood, and yaupon to keep them dense and tidy, working around gates and fence posts.
Mulching
Mulch beds hold moisture in the sandy ground and keep weeds down through the hot months. We spread fresh hardwood or cedar mulch evenly around trees and foundation plantings.
Weed Control
Warm-season weeds like crabgrass and nutsedge pop up quickly in the loose soil. We spot-treat or broadcast pre-emergent and post-emergent products to keep beds and lawns clean.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Martindale
Seasonal Hedge Shaping
We trim overgrown hedges back to a clean line, removing dead wood and thinning the interior so light and air reach the centre of the plant.
Bed Mulching and Weeding
We pull or spray existing weeds, rake the bed smooth, and lay a uniform layer of mulch two to three inches deep around every plant and trunk.

Where we work
Across Martindale
Town Centre
The older streets around the river and the historic downtown have narrow lots, shallow front yards, and mature shade trees. We work carefully around roots and tight gate access, often with smaller mowers.
Old Bastrop Highway Corridor
Properties along the main road into town tend to be wider and deeper, with open lawns and long driveways. We use zero-turn mowers here to cover ground quickly and blow clippings off the pavement.
Outlying Acreages
East and west of the built-up area, lots stretch to an acre or more, often with pastures and brush lines. We handle larger mowing decks and do more trimming of fence lines and ditch banks.
Before work starts

Martindale requires a permit to remove any tree over a certain trunk diameter on private property. Check with the city's planning department before cutting, especially near the river corridor.
Fence and Structure Setbacks
If your landscaping work involves installing a new fence or a retaining wall, the city enforces setback rules from property lines. Confirm the distances with the city building inspector before you start.

“Humble Landscapes is great. I have had them service two different properties and they always do right by me. If the yard does not need mowed on the scheduled date, they will ring the door bell and ask if we want it mowed.”
