Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Pine Forest properties in Bastrop.
Pine Forest sits on the southeast edge of Bastrop, south of SH 71 next to Tahitian Village, platted back in the 1970s as a roughly 700-lot, 400-acre subdivision. Only about 35 homes were ever built in Unit 6 before the city put a moratorium on further development over drainage, utilities, and access, and a long stretch of public and legal history followed. What that means on the ground today: most homes here sit next to large tracts of unbuilt, platted land rather than a built-out block of neighbors.
That mix of built lots and raw acreage changes how a yard behaves. Water that would normally sheet across a finished street or storm system here often has nowhere to go but your lot, so grading, swales, and culvert work matter more than they would in a fully developed subdivision. The Lost Pines sandy soil drains fast, which is good news after a downpour and bad news in August when beds and turf dry out quicker than clay ever would. Pines and native hardwoods need steady, deep watering through the dry months, not frequent shallow runs, and brush along the property line needs regular clearing so it does not creep into your maintained yard.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Pine Forest property starts with a free, no-obligation site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call, where we look at the lot, the drainage pattern, and the boundary with any adjacent unbuilt land. From there we handle what the property actually needs: lawn and property maintenance, irrigation and drainage work, tree service, brush clearing, and landscaping and design suited to sandy soil and a Central Texas summer. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and we serve both residential and commercial properties along this stretch of Bastrop County.
We walk the lot with you, look at the house-to-brush line, check how water moves off the roof and driveway, and talk through what you want the yard to do. Most of Pine Forest sits next to unbuilt platted land, so we pay attention to where that edge is and what runs onto your property from it. Estimates are free, no-obligation, and usually scheduled within 48 hours. Call (737) 404-9343.
Yes. The Lost Pines sandy soils drain fast and hold less moisture than clay, so beds dry out quicker and irrigation runs need to account for that instead of assuming a clay-soil schedule. We adjust plant choice, mulch depth, and watering zones to match what the ground actually does, not a generic Central Texas plan.
Expect regular mowing through the growing season, then a pullback as heat and dry stretches hit, plus spot treatment where sandy soil lets turf thin out faster than you'd like. City of Bastrop water customers also have a year-round rule against automatic sprinkler irrigation between 9:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m., so we schedule and set systems to work within that window.
That is exactly the kind of work this subdivision needs. With a large share of Pine Forest still platted but unbuilt, a lot of homeowners are managing a fence line or tree line against raw acreage rather than a mowed neighbor's yard. We clear brush, maintain that boundary, and handle tree trimming, deadwood removal, and storm cleanup on the built side of the line.
We serve Pine Forest as part of our regular coverage along the I-35 corridor and Hill Country, from San Antonio through Bastrop to Marble Falls. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and handle both residential and commercial properties here, including the drainage and irrigation issues that come with lots next to unbuilt land.
Drainage is a known issue in this subdivision, city and county records point to it directly, so grading, swales, and culvert or driveway drainage are work we take seriously here. We design and build so that stormwater coming off adjacent unbuilt lots has somewhere to go besides your foundation or your lawn.
