Custom landscape design, sod, planting and decorative stone built for Central Texas soil and sun.
Landscaping in Bee Cave means working with the ground you actually have, not the ground you wish you had. Along the 71/620 corridor, that ground is often a shallow layer of soil sitting right on top of limestone bench, and a lot of lots carry real grade change from front curb to back fence. Corral Bros has spent enough time in Lake Pointe, Falconhead, and Spanish Oaks to know which corners of a property will fight you and which ones are ready for a proper bed.
Rock changes the plan before it changes the shovel. On a lot with six inches of topsoil over limestone, standard planting depth is not an option everywhere, so we grade, shape, and sometimes bring in equipment to break through before beds ever get mulch or stone. Steeper Spanish Oaks and Falconhead sites also need thought about where water goes once it rains, so terracing and drainage often get designed alongside the plant palette itself, not tacked on afterward.

We also provide landscaping in these nearby communities:
Fall (October to November) and early spring (March to April) are the best times to landscape in Central Texas. Cooler temperatures let new sod, trees and plants establish roots before summer heat. We install year-round, but fall planting gives the strongest results and the lowest water needs.
Central Texas sits in USDA hardiness zones 8b to 9a, so drought-tolerant natives perform best: Texas sage, salvia, lantana, agave, yaupon holly, red yucca and ornamental grasses. Pairing these with native shade trees like live oak and cedar elm gives a landscape that thrives on less water.
Yes, this is common ground in Spanish Oaks and around Falconhead too. We break up the caliche and rock with mechanical equipment where needed, then build up proper planting beds with amended soil so roots have somewhere to go. Trying to dig native rock by hand and hope for the best is how most DIY beds fail within a year.
It depends on grade, square footage, and how much rock we have to work through, which varies a lot between a flatter Lake Pointe lot and a steep Spanish Oaks slope. We give free on-site estimates, usually within 48 hours, so you get real numbers for your property instead of a rough guess over the phone.
Steep grades change everything about the plan. We shape beds and terraces to slow water runoff instead of fighting it, use retaining structures where the slope demands it, and pick plants that hold soil on a bank. A lot of the Falconhead and Spanish Oaks properties we work on need this kind of grading thought before a single plant goes in.
It depends on sun exposure and how thin the soil is over rock. We will tell you honestly if a section is better suited to a rock or native bed than sod, since forcing grass onto shallow limestone soil in full Hill Country sun usually means a lot of wasted water and a lawn that browns out by July.
We lean heavily on native and adapted Hill Country plants because they handle Bee Cave's rocky soil and dry stretches far better than typical nursery imports. That does not mean a bare-bones yard. We can still build out full color beds and borders, just with species that will still look good three summers from now.
Call (737) 404-9343 and we will typically get someone out to your property within 48 hours for a free, no-obligation estimate. We walk the lot, talk through what you want, and account for things like grade and existing rock before giving you a design plan and a real number, not a phone quote.
