Local Conditions
The soil and climate of Bulverde.
Bulverde sits on the Edwards Plateau caliche shelf. Soil is thin Krum-Tarrant series — a few inches of clay-loam topsoil sitting on hard limestone caliche. This is what makes drainage, soil reset, and native installs harder than anywhere else in Texas if you don't plan for it.
