Local Conditions
The soil and climate of Spring Branch.
Spring Branch is deep canyon country — the Guadalupe River headwaters carve through limestone here. Soil is Brackett-Real complex, often shallow over outcropping limestone. Drainage routing matters more than almost anywhere else we work.
Cooler than Bulverde in winter due to canyon air drainage. Summer storms produce flash runoff because of the topography.
