Every size of lot, close together
Most homes around the Medical Center went up early. County records put the median home at 1966, and 58% were built in the 1950s and 60s. The median lot is 0.25 acre, but the spread is wide: 32% are our Standard yard at $55 a visit weekly, 40% are Large yards at $60, 12% are Extra large at $70, and 16% are over half an acre, priced by hand.
Newcome, Chedder, Lyceum and Cambray run about a fifth of an acre. Honey Hill is closer to a tenth, and the mid-2000s homes on St. Charles Bay and Copano Bay sit on about 0.05 acre. On East Beverly Mae the typical lot is about three quarters of an acre. That is why we price from your county lot record, not a guess.

The whole area is inside the City of San Antonio, so the city rules apply:

- Brush: the city picks it up twice a year, 8 cubic yards at most, within 8 feet of the curb.

“The Backyard Boys are the best! They were very professional and easy to work with in every step of the process. He made sure the quote was exactly what I wanted. The price was the best from several companies I had quoted. Diego let me know exactly when he would arrive. They worked hard all day and were very careful to make the lights look perfect! I had a problem after he left and he came back immediately to make sure everything worked perfectly. I highly recommend The Backyard Boys!!”
