Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Tahitian Village properties in Bastrop.
Tahitian Village is not a flat subdivision, and anyone who has tried to mow a line straight up one of its hills already knows that. The POA describes its own land as large and hilly with some very steep grades, platted without much regard for the actual topography, and we see that match up on site visit after site visit across the roughly 7,000 lots here. Add in deed restrictions, an Architectural Control Committee that signs off on fences, sheds and new structures, and a wastewater system built on grinder pumps instead of septic tanks, and yard work in this neighborhood comes with more paperwork and more physics than most.
That terrain changes what a yard actually needs. Water moving down a steep lot in sandy Lost Pines soil does not sit still long enough to soak in, so beds and turf dry out fast in a Central Texas summer and erode fast in a Hill Country downpour. Pines and native hardwoods here want deep, infrequent watering and mulch that holds ground rather than a daily sprinkle that just runs downhill. Grass on a slope needs the right root structure and a watering schedule built around the district's current conservation stage, not a generic timer setting.
Hiring Corral Bros for a property in Tahitian Village starts with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually set up within 48 hours, where we walk the actual slope and drainage on your lot rather than guess from a plat. From there we handle the permit paperwork that comes with district-regulated irrigation work, plan around your grinder pump and tank location, and build or maintain landscaping, lawns, trees and hardscapes that are meant to hold up on a hillside lot, not just look good in a photo.
Yes, in most cases. Bastrop County WCID No. 2 requires a district permit before any irrigation system goes in, which means a $75 application, a plat or survey of the lot, and a site plan showing structures, water lines, sewer lines, easements and floodplain. We build that site plan as part of the job and sit through the pre-construction meeting with district staff so the install does not stall out waiting on paperwork.
We treat slope as the first problem to solve, not something to plant over. The subdivision's own paperwork describes it as hilly with some very steep grades, platted without much regard for the actual land, and that tracks with what we see on the ground. On a sloped lot that means swales and terracing before beds, erosion control on any fresh cut, and ground cover picked to hold soil rather than just fill a flower bed.
It pushes a lot of water out of sandy Lost Pines soil fast, so lawns and beds dry from the top down and need deeper, less frequent watering rather than a daily sprinkle. We set up irrigation schedules and mulch beds to hold moisture longer between waterings, and we watch for the county's drought stage announcements since lawn irrigation is usually the first thing restricted when the district tightens water rules.
We work around it, not on it. Homes on the district's wastewater system run a tank and grinder pump that needs continuous power and should only be serviced by the district at 512-321-1688, so any digging, grading or planting we do gets planned to locate and protect that equipment rather than disturb it.
Yes, that is regular work for us in the Lost Pines area. Properties recovering from past wildfire activity or sitting on steep, wooded lots often need dead or damaged pine removal, brush clearing, and selective thinning to reduce fire risk and open up usable yard space, and we handle that alongside regular tree service and land clearing.
We serve Tahitian Village as part of our regular Bastrop and I-35 corridor coverage, from San Antonio through Austin to Marble Falls. Call (737) 404-9343 and we will schedule a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours, so we can look at the lot, the slope and the ACC requirements before any work starts.
