Big lots, old trees
Terrell Hills is older and roomier than most of the area. County records put the median home at 1951, and 70% of the homes were built before 1960. The median lot is 0.33 acre, so about half of Terrell Hills is our Large yard at $60 a visit weekly, about a quarter is Extra large at $70, and the biggest lots are priced by hand.
On Morningside, Wiltshire, Canterbury Hill and Garraty the typical lot is about a third of an acre. Elizabeth Road runs closer to half an acre.
Its own city, its own brush rules
Terrell Hills is its own city, not part of San Antonio, so its city sets the yard and brush rules. Its brush crew aims to reach every home about once a week, with no set day. From the city’s public works page:
- Lawn crews haul their own: the city says lawn services and tree trimmers must haul off their own cuttings. After a yard cleanup we take the brush with us.
- Your own trimmings: stack them along the front curb, no longer than 6 feet or thicker than 3 inches. Nothing is picked up from the alley.
- Leaves and brush: keep them in separate piles. They go to different landfills.
- Big piles: more than 250 cubic feet of brush is the owner’s to haul.
We keep St. Augustine at the 2 to 4 inches Texas A&M AgriLife in Bexar County recommends, a little higher in the shade.

Is Terrell Hills part of San Antonio?
No. Terrell Hills is its own city, with its own city hall and its own yard and brush rules. Your price from us works the same as anywhere else.
When does Terrell Hills pick up brush?
The city's brush crew tries to reach every home about once a week, with no set day. Put your own trimmings at the front curb, under 6 feet long and 3 inches thick, and keep leaves in a separate pile. Lawn services haul off their own cuttings.
How high should a shaded lawn be cut?
Texas A&M AgriLife in Bexar County puts St. Augustine at 2 to 4 inches and says to mow shaded lawns half an inch to an inch higher than lawns in full sun. Under Terrell Hills' big trees, we leave the shady parts a little taller.

“Professional, great communication, and super nice guys. My house is ready for the holidays!! Thank you so much! Will definitely be back next year!”
“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!!”
“There are not enough good things to say about the Backyard Boys. They went above and beyond installing Christmas roofline and trunk + limb lights. Diego et al were super friendly and couldn’t have been better with communications and checking to ensure the lights were perfect.

Everything looked beautiful when he finished, and I truly appreciate the time and effort he put into making my yard look its best. Diego is definitely an asset to the Backyard Boys team! I highly recommend their lawn care services and look forward to working with them again. Thank you, Diego!”
