End standing water, soggy spots and erosion with engineered drainage.
Standing water and boggy yards plague Austin properties because of our wild soil variety. East of MoPac, heavy black gumbo clay holds every drop like a sponge; west toward the Hill Country, limestone bedrock sheds water so fast it cuts erosion gullies. Tarrytown, Mueller, Circle C, and Zilker all face their own drainage headaches, and spring rains make the problem worse every year.
Corral Bros Landscaping and Design has spent years solving these site-specific problems for Austin homeowners and commercial properties. We start with a real site assessment to see where water is pooling, how your soil drains (or doesn't), and what grading fixes or engineered systems will work best. French drains, channel drains, dry creek beds, downspout routing, erosion control-we build solutions that last.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and drainage solutions that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Standing water is fixed by correcting the grade and adding drainage that carries water away: French drains, channel drains, downspout extensions and dry creek beds. We assess how water moves across your property, then design a system suited to Central Texas clay and heavy storms.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface and surface water away from problem areas and foundations. You likely need one if you have soggy spots, water against the house, or a slope that sheds water toward your home.
If water sits in your yard for hours after rain, grass stays mushy in spring, or you see erosion gullies forming, drainage is worth a professional look. Corral Bros will assess your lot for free and show you exactly where the problem is and what fixing it costs.
Yes. East of MoPac, that black gumbo clay is nearly waterproof. West side limestone sheds water too fast and causes different erosion issues. Corral Bros knows both soil types and designs drainage that matches your neighborhood's actual ground, not a generic formula.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with a perforated pipe that collects and redirects groundwater. It works well for slow-draining clay soils common in east Austin. We assess your yard's slope, soil, and water source to say whether a French drain, channel drain, or site regrading makes sense.
Cost depends on your lot size, soil type, and which solution fits best. A simple downspout extension costs far less than a full site grading or French drain system. Call Corral Bros at 737-404-9343 for a free estimate with no obligation. We explain the work upfront.
Absolutely. Limestone west of MoPac sheds water fast and cuts gullies easily. We grade swales, install channel drains, and build dry creek beds to slow water flow and control erosion. These also improve your landscape.
Depends on the solution. Simple regrading and surface drains take one to two days. French drains and larger channel systems may take longer. Corral Bros will give you a realistic timeline during your estimate so you know what to expect.
