Why we serve Timberwood Park
Timberwood Park is a different kind of job than a tight city lot. Out here, off US-281 and Bulverde Road about six miles north of our shop, the lots run an acre and up, the oaks are mature, and a driveway is not a short apron. It is a private drive that can run a few hundred feet from the road to the house, and that length is the whole project.
This is Hill Country ground, limestone close under the surface with pockets of thin soil over it. Rock makes a solid base to build on, but a long drive that crosses it has to be shaped so water never gets the chance to run down the length of it. On acreage the drive is often the low line runoff wants to follow, so if it was not crowned and drained right, every storm carries a little more of the base downhill.
Most of what we do in Timberwood Park is residential: the long asphalt and concrete drives, the turnarounds, and the approaches off the county roads, plus the pads and slabs that come with a home on land. We lead with asphalt because a properly built asphalt drive is often the right call for these longer runs, and we pour concrete where the entry or the approach calls for it.

What Timberwood Park homes deal with
A long drive lives or dies on two things out here: the base over the rock and the way it sheds water. Limestone gives you a strong bottom. The rock is rarely flat, so the subgrade has to be evened out or the drive bridges a high spot and flexes over a low one. Across a couple hundred feet, a base that was rushed shows up as a washboard or a set of cracks long before the surface should have worn.
Water is the other half. A drive that runs downhill to a house, or crosses a natural drainage line on the property, has to be crowned to throw water off both sides and sometimes given a culvert or a hard swale where it meets a wash. We see plenty of older drives out here that were laid flat, so the water ran down the wheel path, cut a channel, and took the base with it.
Then there are the trees. The mature oaks are the reason a lot of people bought out here, and clearing or grading near them has to respect the root zone or the tree is gone a few years later. When a new drive or pad goes in, we work around what matters and clear only what has to go.
How we handle it
On a long Timberwood Park drive we even the rock subgrade first so the base bears the same the whole way, then crown and grade it to shed water off the length rather than down it. Asphalt gets built thick enough for the trucks and equipment that come up a country drive, laid and rolled hot, and we pour concrete approaches and pads where they make sense. Because we also clear and haul, we can open up the drive line, take out only what has to go around the oaks, bring in the base rock, and pave it, all with one crew and our own trucks.

FAQs from Timberwood Park customers
My driveway out here runs a few hundred feet. Do you handle drives that size?
Yes, that is a lot of what we do in Timberwood Park. Long drives on acreage are their own kind of job. The base has to bear evenly over uneven rock for the whole run, and the drive has to be crowned so water sheds off the sides rather than channeling down the wheel path. Tell us the length and the grade and we will come look at it.
There are big oaks along my drive. Can you work around them?
Yes, and we plan for it. The mature oaks are the reason these lots are worth what they are, so when we clear a drive line or grade near one, we protect the root zone and take out only what has to go. We would rather route around a tree than cost you one.
Should a long country driveway be asphalt or concrete?
It depends on the length, the slope, and the loads, and we will give you a straight read on site. For long rural runs asphalt is often the sensible call because it handles the distance and the settling well, but we pour concrete for the approach or the whole drive when that fits the property better.
My old drive washes out in the low spot every storm. Can that be fixed?
Usually yes. A drive that washes was almost always laid flat or without a way to cross the drainage line on the property. We crown it, set the grade to move the water off, and put in a culvert or a hard swale where it meets a wash, so the storm stops carrying your base downhill.
