Common questions

Does Klema Builders sell mulch or landscape rock in San Antonio?

Klema Builders installs mulch and landscape rock across San Antonio, the Texas Hill Country and the I-35 corridor to Austin. The price covers the material, delivery, spreading and edging. Mulch and rock are not sold by the yard for pickup. A refresh can include steel edging. The work is quoted fixed-price, line by line, after a free in-home consult, and the written quote arrives within 3 to 5 business days.

Do you sell mulch by the yard for pickup in San Antonio?

No. Klema Builders installs mulch and landscape rock at the home; it does not operate a bulk pickup yard. The job is installation: the material is supplied, delivered, spread and edged at your home. Mulch and rock are not sold by the yard for pickup. The written quote is for the installed bed.

How much does mulch and rock installation cost?

The price of mulch and rock installation in San Antonio depends on the bed area, mulch versus rock, the edging, and whether the bed is refreshed. Klema Builders does not publish a price list: after a free in-home consult you get a written fixed-price quote, line by line, within 3 to 5 business days, and that quote is the total you pay. The written quote names the material and the bed area.

Should I use mulch or rock?

Use mulch around shrubs, perennials and tree beds. It breaks down and gets topped up yearly, which is the upkeep on the landscaping page. Use decorative rock or river rock where you want a bed or border that stays put and is not a lawn. Steel edging separates either one from the grass. Both are installed at the home.

How deep do you install mulch and rock?

The written quote names the material and how much of the bed it covers. Klema Builders does not publish one depth for every bed. Coverage is set at the yard walk from the bed, the plants and the edging, then written into the price before work starts.

Do you put rock in the strip between the sidewalk and the curb?

Klema Builders installs mulch and rock on the lot, not in the parkway strip. That strip is city right-of-way. City Code Sec. 29-117 requires a permit to use the right-of-way for any purpose, and Sec. 29-107 says landscaping is not an excavation unless it disturbs pavement. The code text does not settle whether rock in the parkway needs a permit, so ask the city's right-of-way office before placing rock there.

More questions (1)
Do I need a tree permit to mulch around existing trees?

Not for this work on a finished single-family lot inside San Antonio. UDC Sec. 35-523 does not apply to trees on property where the house is already built, so mulch or rock around those trees needs no city tree permit. Other cities set their own rules. The job stays a bed refresh: mulch or rock, edging, and haul-off of what comes out. It is not tree pruning.
