San Antonio, Texas


Vickrey & Associates (V&A) is committed to providing energy efficient, low-impact civil engineering site designs for residential communities throughout Texas. KB Home’s Stage Run community is an excellent example of this commitment. The Stage Run Subdivision is a small lot single family subdivision nestled within the Texas Hill Country’s beautiful oak trees conveniently located near Boerne Stage Road and IH-10. V&A was responsible for platting, street and drainage design including two water quality basins, water and sanitary sewer design, and design plans for a bridge crossing over Leon Creek connecting to Boerne Stage Road. V&A applied innovative civil engineering site designs to preserve many of the natural resources and existing wildlife habitats of the original site. Working closely with the client, V&A engineers identified key areas in which to preserve trees and developed strategies to minimize cut and fill through the lots and streets. V&A also incorporated natural materials, erosion prevention techniques, and water detention ponds to minimize the impact of development on the environment. V&A laid out the entry road with medians designed to enhance the natural beauty of the site for visitors as they approach neighborhood recreational areas, including a park, playground, swimming pool and basketball court. V&A designed the drainage systems to meander through the trees to preserve the pureness of the land and established interceptor berms to capture offsite drainage flows with minimal disturbance to the trees and soil.
