Why we serve Leon Springs
Leon Springs sits where the city thins out into the Hill Country, strung along IH-10 at Boerne Stage Road and Ralph Fair Road about eleven miles northwest of our shop. Right on the interstate it is a commercial corridor, retail centers and the restaurants Leon Springs is known for. A short way off the highway it turns into hill-country residential, homes on wooded lots up in the rock. We work both.
The whole area sits on rocky limestone, the hard, shallow Hill Country ground. It makes a strong base to build on once worked right, though it does not drain by soaking water in, and the ground here has real slope to it as it climbs away from the interstate. Runoff moves across the surface fast, so a commercial lot or a home driveway has to be shaped to catch and clear that water or it tracks across the pavement and works at the base.
On the corridor we build and stripe the parking the retail and dining spots depend on, lots that fill and empty all day. Off the highway we build the private drives and entrances for homes up in the hills. Asphalt paving leads on both, and we pour the concrete aprons, walks, and pads that finish either one out.

What Leon Springs homes deal with
A restaurant or retail lot on the IH-10 corridor turns over constantly, and that traffic wears it in the same places, the entrances off the access road, the drive lanes, and the spots by the doors. A lot built light for that turnover ravels at the entrances and ruts in the lanes within a few years. On the corridor the base has to match the real traffic, and the striping has to stay sharp because customers judge a place by its lot before they are through the door.
The limestone makes a good bottom. The slope makes water the enemy. Because the rock sheds runoff rather than absorbing it, everything a hard rain drops has to be graded somewhere on purpose, and on the grades climbing away from I-10 that water moves with force. A lot or a drive that was not built to catch and route it ends up with the runoff cutting at an edge or ponding at the low corner until the base under it softens.
Up off the corridor the homes sit on rock and slope, and a driveway there is often a climb. A drive that goes up to a hill-country house has to shed water down and off it, not down the wheel path, and it has to bear evenly on limestone that is rarely level. Build it flat or over uneven rock and it channels water and cracks. Build it crowned and evened and it holds.
How we handle it
In Leon Springs we build for rock and slope on both sides of the highway. A corridor lot gets a base sized for constant retail and dining turnover, a grade that clears the fast runoff off a flat surface, and striping that stays sharp for the customers reading it. A hill-country drive gets its limestone subgrade evened to a consistent bearing, crowned so water sheds off rather than down it, and built heavy enough for the climb. We pour the concrete that finishes either, and with our own clearing and hauling we can carry a site from rough ground to finished pavement.

FAQs from Leon Springs customers
We run a restaurant on the IH-10 corridor and the lot is wearing at the entrance. What is going on?
The entrance takes every car that comes and goes, so it wears first, raveling and rutting while the rest of the lot still looks fine. On a busy corridor spot that usually means the entrance was built light for the turnover it actually sees. We can rebuild the entrance and lanes for the real traffic and keep the striping sharp so the lot still sells the place.
My house is up off Boerne Stage Road and the driveway is a steep climb. How do you build for that?
A climbing drive has to shed water down and off the sides rather than letting it run down the wheel path, and it has to bear evenly on limestone that is never flat. We even the rock to a consistent bearing, crown the surface, and route the runoff off on purpose, then build it heavy enough for the grade. That is what keeps a hill drive from channeling water and cracking.
Does the rock out here cause drainage problems?
The rock itself is a good base. The issue is that limestone sheds water rather than soaking it in, and with the slope around Leon Springs that runoff moves fast. If a lot or a drive was not graded to catch and clear it, the water tracks across the pavement and works at the base. We set the grade so the runoff has a planned path off the surface.
Do you do both the commercial lots and the home driveways?
Yes, and in Leon Springs it is a real mix. We build and stripe the retail and dining lots on the I-10 corridor and the private drives and entrances for homes up in the hills off it. Tell us which one you have and how it is used and we will quote it.
How far out is Leon Springs for your crews?
It is about eleven miles northwest along IH-10, an easy reach for our crews. Send the address and the project to (830) 266-0629 and we will set a time to look at it.
