At Sam’s
How the two options differ
Sam’s Nursery & Landscaping builds custom structures and is a preferred seller of Galvstruct, formerly Star. The two are separate offerings with different starting points.
Custom Structures: built by Sam’s
A project-based service. It begins with a consultation about what you want to build on your property, and Sam’s builds it.
Galvstruct Structures: sold by Sam’s
A product-sales offering. Galvstruct makes the structures, and Sam’s is a preferred seller. Sam’s does not manufacture Galvstruct products.
General guidance
What to consider before choosing
Educational tips that apply to any project. They are not a statement of what Sam’s provides.
These points apply to adding any structure to a property in the Texas Hill Country.
What it is for
Write down how you will use the structure. Purpose drives size, placement and what to ask about.
Where it will go
Note the slope, access for equipment and how close the spot is to property lines, utilities and trees.
Local rules
Permits, setbacks and HOA rules vary by city, county and neighborhood. Check them before you commit.
Custom or ready-made
A custom project can be shaped around a specific need. A manufacturer’s product line gives you defined options to choose from. Which fits better depends on your goal.
Timeline and budget
Have a rough timeline and budget range in mind, so the first conversation can be practical.
What to include in your message
Use the contact form for either option. Say which one you are asking about, and add what you know.
