CLEARING
Boerne is growing up the I-10 corridor fast, and its dirt work spans both worlds: estate lots and barndominium pads in the hills, and working ranch ground past the city limits. Limestone runs under all of it. We probe first, quote rock in writing, and bring the iron sized to the job.
From the Guadalupe divides to the Cibolo bottoms, Boerne ground is layered rock, caliche slopes, and creek soils that each build differently.
Most new Boerne homesites sit on caliche shoulders over solid limestone, which means benched pads, probed rock, and drainage that handles a Hill Country downpour at speed. The rock line varies lot to lot along the same street, so we probe every site instead of pricing from the neighbor’s story.
The creek and river bottoms carry deeper, darker soil that digs easy and grows anything, including problems if drainage is ignored. Bottom-land pads get elevation, tanks get honest spillways, and the flood record of the Guadalupe gets treated like the design document it is.
The full menu from our excavation and dirt work page, priced and planned for Boerne ground.
Foundation and basement digs, hillside cuts, and balanced fill from estate lots to ranch acreage, with Kendall County rock probed and priced before the first bucket.
Grading for pads, pastures, and drainage across rock and bottom soil both, finished to the standard the I-10 corridor builders expect and test.
Barndominium, house, and barn pads, benched into rock or lifted in compacted moisture-conditioned fill, level to plan and ready for the slab crew and the inspector.
Whole-site preparation, brush through base, one crew and one number, per the standard on our site prep page.
Estate drives and ranch roads that climb Kendall grades in the rain, built as compacted systems, not caliche scatter. See our ranch road page.
Stock tanks and ponds dug to seal in limestone country, clay located first. The trade has its own pond construction page with pricing.
We price the way ranchers think: what iron, how many days, what it costs to get it there. Everything else is a named line item you saw coming. The same published day-rate logic runs our clearing, pond, and dirt quotes, which keeps everybody honest. Send photos to 512-400-2693 for the ballpark today.
Boerne quotes move on rock depth, lot access, and finish level: hammer time gets probed and written, gated-community logistics get planned into the schedule, and estate-grade finish work is priced as what it is. Thirty minutes from two documented San Antonio projects means transport stays a small line, and the iron is already running the corridor.
Send photos and your town, get an honest range the same day. No pressure funnel, no waiting week for a callback.
We find what the ground is hiding, rock, water, soft spots, before it can find your budget. The design happens here, in person.
Machine days on paper: dig, fill, grade, transport, contingencies. You can check the logic against our published rates.
Usually a few weeks out from signing. We need a gate the iron fits through and a place for the trailer, and we handle the rest.
Watch the ground change daily from outside the swing radius. Topsoil saved, fills compacted, grades cut to move water.
A slow lap around the finished work together, against the quote. Fixed on the spot if anything misses. Then it is yours.
Real projects with full write-ups and photos. Every card opens the project page.
Boerne rock is famously inconsistent: one lot digs six feet clean, the next hits ledge under the topsoil. Pricing from the neighbor’s experience is how change orders happen. Every quote we write out here starts with steel in your ground and ends with your rock in writing.
Kendall County may be the barndominium capital of Texas, and the pad is the whole ballgame: level to plan, compacted to test, drainage shed away from the slab. We build them on rock benches and engineered fill both, and the slab crews we hand off to keep asking who did the dirt.
River and creek lots hold the county’s best views and its oldest flood stories. We design bottom-land work off the water record: pads elevated, tanks spillwayed, roads crossing draws armored. A pretty site that floods is not a bargain, and good dirt work is the difference.
Most Boerne sites open under cedar, and clearing it wrong buries future problems in your pad. Our Boerne clearing crew grubs clean, keeps the oaks, saves the topsoil, and hands the site to our own blade, no gap, no finger-pointing.
I live in the Hill Country and I have worked with Taylor several times. He does a tremendous job with a thorough, get-it-done attitude, and with some really great equipment that is impressive to watch in action. Highly recommended!

Super friendly and efficient! Got the job done in one day, clearing out all the dead cedar while leaving the pretty oaks. Excellent job, thank you!

Jonathan did an excellent job! I would absolutely recommend him and have him back anytime! The mulch was very fine and exceeded my expectations!

Yes: clearing, pad, drive, and drainage in one mobilization, with the pad built to test and the drive built to climb wet. One crew and one written number covers the site work end to end.
By probing yours, not by quoting the street average. Ripping and hammering carry separate written day rates, flagged as contingencies you saw before signing. Kendall County rock is only a surprise if nobody looked.
Two documented San Antonio projects sit thirty minutes down I-10, and the crews run the corridor weekly. Boerne is inside normal range, and the transport line on the quote reflects that.
Both ways: cut and fill to the civil plans with grade staking respected, or design-build for ranch and homestead work where the plan gets made on the site walk. Either way the quote says exactly what is being built.
Scope priced, in machine days: the iron, the days, transport, and any flagged contingency. Send photos to 512-400-2693 for a same-day ballpark, then a site walk turns it into a written number that does not move after signing.
It gets planned for, not discovered. The site walk includes probing, and the quote carries a written contingency for ripping or hammering, billed by the day. The difference between outfits shows up at the first hard bucket, and ours is in writing.
Photos and a rough scope get a same-day ballpark. A site walk gets a written number in machine days that does not move after you sign.
