Local know-how
What to know before land work in Comfort
Rules, ground and timing that change how the work is done here. Sources are linked.
Cedar country
Cedar here is Ashe juniper, which does not resprout from its roots once cut (TPWD Appendix E). Clearing it selectively, with oaks and cover kept, brings the grass back. See cedar and brush clearing.
Creek and river land
With the Guadalupe rising nearly 27 feet in 45 minutes here in July 2025 (Wikipedia), roads and crossings near the water are worth building with care. See ranch roads.
Tanks for stock and wildlife
Pond construction is one of the erosion control practices in TPWD's wildlife guidelines (TPWD). See stock tanks in Kendall County.
Burning in Kendall County
Burn bans are set by the county. Check the burn ban map before planning to burn brush piles.

Do the Edwards Aquifer rules apply near Comfort?

Can you build a crossing on my creek?
We look at the creek, the flow and the floodplain first. Crossings near a floodplain can need county review.
