The right trees, planted right, for shade and value that grows for decades.
Austin's soil runs a sharp split: rich black gumbo on the east side, limestone outcrops west of MoPac. Getting a tree to thrive here means understanding that ground and matching species that'll handle Texas heat, drought, and root competition with native oak and cedar. Corral Bros plants trees right the first time, with species selection, proper depth, staking, and a deep-water establishment plan built for decades of shade and growth.
Whether you're in Tarrytown looking to cool down a tight urban lot, or on a Mueller or Circle C property where the soil's just been graded, tree planting is one of the smartest investments you can make. We show up early, assess your ground and microclimate, and talk through placement for real shade and long-term health before we ever dig.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Austin property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and tree planting that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
The best shade trees for Central Texas include live oak, cedar elm, Texas red oak, bur oak, Mexican sycamore and Monterrey oak, all adapted to local soil and heat. We help you pick the right species for your space, then plant it correctly for decades of growth.
Fall through winter is the best time to plant trees in Central Texas, giving roots several months to establish before summer heat. Spring is the next-best window. Fall-planted trees need the least supplemental water to get going.
Texas red oak, live oak, and cedar elm thrive here. On limestone west of MoPac, we lean toward drought-tough species that handle shallow root zones. East of MoPac where gumbo dominates, we pick trees that tolerate heavier soil. Corral Bros assesses your exact ground and sun exposure before recommending species.
Too deep and the root flare suffocates; too shallow and the tree never anchors. Austin heat makes this critical. We plant at the exact depth where the root flare is visible, mulch properly for moisture and temperature buffer, then stake young trees for stability through our hot, windy springs.
Cost depends on species, tree size, site access, and soil conditions. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site estimate with no obligation. We'll walk your property, explain what goes into proper planting, and quote you a fair price based on the real work involved.
Deep watering during establishment is everything. We build a watering plan for the first season that handles our hot, dry periods without drowning roots. Mulching keeps soil temp steady and holds moisture. We also place trees strategically for afternoon shade relief in brutal spots like Circle C and Zilker.
Absolutely. New construction lots often have compacted, poor-quality fill. We assess the actual planting zone, amend soil where needed, and select trees that can push through those conditions. Proper placement also avoids future conflicts with utilities and structures.
No. Corral Bros handles residential and commercial tree planting. We work on residential lots, tech campuses, office parks, and mixed-use properties across Austin and the Hill Country. Same quality and commitment to species selection and establishment care, scaled to the job.
