We don't have to tell you - it's dry here in Boerne. And when the rain finally comes like it did yesterday, most of it runs off our roofs and driveways before we ever get the chance to use it. But it doesn’t have to be that way.

Just one inch of rain on a 1,000-square-foot roof can capture around 600 gallons of water — and with the City of Boerne offering a $150 rebate for installing a rainwater system, now’s the time to get ready before the next storm.

That’s where our partners at Hammer Next Level Excavation come in. This Boerne-based, family-run business designs and installs complete rainwater harvesting systems, tanks, and pump setups — plus trenching, dry well troubleshooting, and full prep for new builds.

It’s truly a family operation built on hard work, trust, and Hill Country grit. Call today: 210-846-4135. Click here to learn more!

Water Restrictions: Stage 2

If you’ve noticed a fenced-off area behind the Old Jail Museum and the original Kendall County Courthouse, there’s a good reason. While work was being done on the grounds, crews unexpectedly uncovered a very old hand-dug well beneath the surface.

The long-term goal is to raise funds to restore the well and turn it into a small historical site that helps tell Boerne’s early story. More details are expected as plans come together, but for now, it’s a fascinating reminder of just how much history still lies beneath downtown.
