At Highroad Ranch & Design, we specialize in thoughtful land improvement for Hill Country ranches — from roads and dams to entrances, clearing, and recreational spaces.

Our approach is rooted in respect for the land: designing with purpose, working with the resources already on your property, and building improvements that feel like they’ve always belonged. Backed by more than 150 years of combined roadbuilding experience, a dedicated, full-time team, and a fleet of 40+ pieces of heavy equipment, we’ve already improved over 7,000 acres of Hill Country property. The result is work that’s both high-quality and cost-efficient — so your land can become a legacy for generations to come.

BEFORE & AFTER

APPROACH

At Highroad, we see every ranch improvement as an opportunity to turn land into legacy. To make that happen, we bring three commitments to every project:

Design with purpose   

alongside a team that respects the setting, sees its full potential, and brings out its best.

Work with the land  

by leveraging the resources on your property to build smarter, spend less, and create improvements that look like they truly belong.

Build to last   

with a salaried, expert crew, serious equipment, and results that hold up —season after season, year after year.

CLIENT FEEDBACK

What Customers Are Saying

“I didn’t realize our land had so much potential. Thanks to Highroad, our ranch looks like a state park, with sweeping views, legacy oaks and a spring-fed six-acre lake where there was once only a dry creekbed. Even in the harshest drought, the lake held steady — it’s become the heart of our ranch."

Ranch Owner, Gillespie County (400 Acres)
“Highroad gave us more than land improvement — they created a beautiful place where our family can make memories for generations. They built miles of roads and multiple water features, and their thoughtful clearing revealed hilltop views we’d never seen before. From the crushed granite to the caliche, every material was sourced right here on the ranch. They even turned a dry pasture into a five-acre lake that’s now full of bass and catfish, with a dock where my grandkids reel in fish on every visit.”

Ranch Owner, Blanco County (600 Acres)
"I had 500 acres in the heart of the Hill Country that was overgrown with cedar. We knew we had beautiful oaks and incredible Hill Country views, but we literally could not get to them. Then, Highroad came in with a complete vision on how to highlight the property’s natural beauty and realize its full potential. The final product went well beyond our dreams. Now, we have a stunning ranch with high quality roads, bridges, dams, and cleared vistas with panoramic 360 degree views. Highroad drilled wells, ran underground power, high-fenced the property and made it "construction ready” for our home. Plus, with Highroad's oversight, we also added a new family homestead, a large barn, hunting cabins and a shooting range. They did the job right, and they did the job to last. The roads, dams and bridges have stood the test of time and of Mother Nature for almost 10 years!”

“Geologists told me my land had no clay and that I’d have to spend a fortune on materials if I ever wanted a water feature, so I wrote the idea off. When I hired Highroad to build some roads for me, they proved the geologists wrong, uncovering native clay and an underground spring. Not only did they create a beautiful pond that looks like it’s always been there – they also saved me a big chunk of change by sourcing everything from my property. What began as a road project ended up transforming our family ranch into a true sanctuary.”
