Working in New Braunfels
Land work in New Braunfels
New Braunfels more than doubled in fifteen years. That growth needs ground made ready: lots cleared, pads cut, sites graded and older structures taken down to make room.
The city sits right on the Balcones Fault, where the Hill Country drops to the plains, so the ground changes fast from one side of town to the other.

Local know-how
What to know before land work in New Braunfels
Rules, ground and timing that change how the work is done here. Sources are linked.
Growth and new lots
Raw lots on the edge of town need clearing, a pad and a drive before the builder arrives. See land clearing and building pads.
Teardowns and rebuilds
Older structures come down, the debris is hauled away (never burned) and the lot is graded for what comes next (TCEQ GI-415). See demolition.
Edwards rules
Comal County is on TCEQ's Edwards list. Regulated activities on the recharge, transition or contributing zones can need an approved plan before soil is disturbed (TCEQ).
Burning inside the city
TCEQ's general rules say to burn outside city limits unless a city ordinance allows it (AgriLife summary). In town, brush is usually hauled.
