👉Wednesday Roundup

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH

Good morning, Boerne. We’re half day through the week. So maybe treat yourself with a sandwich. You can grab one at the Grand Opening of Pioneers Meats (more on that later) or even at the original Bum’s location here in Boerne (answer to yesterday’s trivia question!).

Here’s what we have for you today:

• Hazardous waste pickup

• Tamale time

• Beyond Blessed Keepsakes has a special for you

• BHS ladies invited to Macy’s Day parade

And a whole lot more. Let’s get into it!

MEET HAMMER NEXT LEVEL EXCAVATION

A Family Business Moving Dirt and Building Trust

Out here in the Hill Country, starting something new takes more than just heavy machinery. It takes grit, experience, and the kind of trust that’s built over time. That’s exactly what you’ll find with Hammer Next Level Excavation, a true family-run operation based in Boerne.

From land clearing and site prep to custom rainwater harvesting systems, this team brings professional results with small-town values. And when the owner is working side-by-side with his own son, you know the job is going to be done right.

We did a full write up on them, so make sure to give it a read if you want to know more about them.
