Hillside Lawn Mowing
We mow the grass on the slope, adjusting the deck height to avoid scalping on the high spots. We use a walk-behind mower on the steepest sections and trim around every rock and tree.

Local service
Proudly serving Wimberley
Wimberley sits in the hill country west of San Marcos, with steep slopes, limestone outcrops, and thin, rocky soil that drains fast. The housing stock ranges from weekend cabins along the Blanco River to custom homes on large wooded lots. Heat and drought stress the grass here, and the native juniper and live oaks drop leaves and pollen year-round. The terrain makes mowing tricky, with uneven ground, rock gardens, and creek crossings. Every property has its own slope and drainage pattern, and the work has to adapt to each one.
Our crew drives out from San Marcos on Ranch Road 12, loaded with equipment suited for hillside work: self-propelled mowers, string trimmers with heavy line, and blowers for clearing the limestone patios and decks. We work on site, cutting the grass in patterns that prevent scalping on the high spots, trimming around boulders and tree roots, and hauling every bit of debris off the property. Because Wimberley is a twenty-minute drive, we batch our visits to cover multiple jobs in one trip, keeping the schedule efficient and the cost fair.
Humble Landscapes works across San Marcos, TX and the surrounding communities, so a crew is never far from Wimberley. Call (512) 574-3057 or request a free estimate and we’ll come out and take a look.

What Wimberley homeowners call us for
Lawn Mowing
Hillside lawns with thin soil need careful mowing to avoid scalping. We cut at a higher setting on the slopes and use walk-behind mowers on the steepest parts to keep the turf healthy.
Hedge Trimming
Native juniper and yaupon hedges grow fast in the hill country. We shape them to stay dense and wind-resistant, working around the uneven ground and rock borders that are common here.
Mulching
Mulch helps the thin soil hold moisture through the dry summers. We spread a thick layer of hardwood or cedar mulch around trees and in beds, keeping it away from trunks to prevent rot.
Weed Control
Weeds like thistle and goathead thrive in the rocky, disturbed soil of Wimberley. We apply pre-emergent in early spring and spot-treat persistent weeds through the growing season.
Typical projects
The kind of work we take on in Wimberley
Native Hedge Shaping
We trim overgrown juniper and yaupon hedges back to a clean, natural shape, removing dead wood and thinning the interior so the plant stays healthy and wind-resistant.
Rock Bed Mulching
We pull weeds from around the boulders and stone borders, rake the bed level, and spread a fresh layer of mulch that holds moisture and keeps the soil from washing away on the slope.

Where we work
Across Wimberley
Town Centre
The compact downtown area around the square has older homes on small lots, often with steep front yards and limestone retaining walls. We work with hand tools and small mowers to handle the tight spaces.
Blanco River Corridor
Properties along the river have deeper, sandy soil and more shade from large cypress and oaks. We mow around root systems, trim low-hanging branches, and keep the lawns clean of river debris.
Outlying Hill Country Lots
Away from the river, lots are large and wooded, with long gravel drives and natural terrain. We use wide-deck mowers for the open areas and spend extra time trimming around the rock outcrops and brush lines.

Permits & local rules in Wimberley
Tree Removal Permits
Wimberley requires a permit for removal of any tree over a certain size, especially near the river or in the hill country overlay zone. Check with the city's planning department before cutting.
Grading and Drainage Permits
If your landscaping project involves regrading a slope or installing drainage, the city may require a permit to ensure runoff doesn't affect neighbouring properties. Ask the building department 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.”
