Excavation & Site Work services in Helotes

Helotes sits on the northwest edge of San Antonio, where Bandera Road climbs into the Hill Country. The city is small, but its lots are big: many are an acre or more, wooded with live oak and cedar, on thin, rocky soil over limestone. Helotes Creek runs through the old town and floods at low-water crossings in heavy rain. Much of the area lies over the Edwards Aquifer recharge zone, so runoff and earthwork get more attention here than on the prairie side of the county. Older homes near Old Town Helotes have septic systems and long gravel drives. Our jobs in Helotes include rock trenching for water and power, pool excavation with a breaker, cedar clearing, retaining wall cuts, septic digs for licensed installers and driveway base work.
