Patios, decks, pergolas, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens that turn a backyard into a retreat.
If you've stood in your backyard in Bee Cave and wondered why that stretch of rocky slope or unused side yard just sits there, you're not alone. Between the limestone benches under Lake Pointe and the steep grades running through Falconhead and Spanish Oaks, a lot of Hill Country lots have real backyard potential that's hard to unlock without proper hardscape work. Outdoor living construction here means solving the ground first, then building the patio, kitchen or pergola on top of it.
That limestone isn't a nuisance to us, it's a design input. We plan retaining walls and footings around where the rock sits, use it to our advantage for drainage on sloped lots, and build patios and walkways that stay put through freeze-thaw swings and summer downpours alike. In neighborhoods along the 71/620 corridor where outdoor entertaining space matters as much as the house itself, we treat the yard like the room it's meant to become.

Paver and stone patio cost depends on the square footage, the material you choose, site prep and any walls or features. A simple patio is far more affordable than a full outdoor living space with a kitchen and fire feature. Corral Bros designs to your budget and gives a clear, itemized quote.
Concrete pavers, flagstone and travertine all hold up well to Central Texas heat and storms when installed on a properly compacted base. Pavers are popular because individual units can be lifted and reset if needed, and they resist cracking better than a single poured slab over expansive clay.
That's exactly the kind of lot we build for. We terrace with retaining walls to create level pads for a patio or kitchen, then tie the grade together with stone steps or a walkway. Corral Bros has cut plenty of usable outdoor living space out of Bee Cave slopes that looked unbuildable at first glance.
It depends on square footage, materials and how much grading or wall work your lot needs, so we do not quote a number until we've walked the site. A free on-site estimate gets you a real figure within 48 hours, and we lay out the cost drivers plainly so there are no surprises once the crew starts.
Almost certainly, especially around Lake Pointe and Spanish Oaks where the bench is close to the surface. We plan footings, drainage and wall depth around that rock rather than fighting it, which is part of why our hardscapes hold up instead of shifting after year one.
Yes, when they're set right. We use a compacted base and proper joint sand so the surface handles heat expansion and the occasional gully-washer without pooling or heaving. Corral Bros builds every patio and walkway in Bee Cave to move with the ground instead of cracking against it.
A lot of our clients in those neighborhoods go with a pergola over the main patio for shade, paired with a fire feature and an outdoor kitchen for evening gatherings. We size and place these based on your lot's sun exposure and grade so the space actually gets used, not just admired.
A straightforward paver patio might run one to two weeks; add retaining walls, an outdoor kitchen or a pergola and you're looking at several weeks depending on scope and weather. We give you a realistic timeline at the estimate so you know what to expect before any digging starts.
