Decorative mulch, gravel and stone that finish beds and cut down on weeds.
Buda's rocky clay soil and shallow caliche demand smarter bed finishing than just spreading whatever you find at the big box store. Mulch and rock work here stops weeds in those limestone-heavy pockets while looking good through our Hill Country heat and the dry stretches that come fast. Corral Bros knows exactly how to handle Garlic Creek, Whispering Hollow, and Sunfield beds because we've worked hundreds of them.
Whether you want hardwood mulch that breaks down and feeds the soil, cedar for its staying power and smell, dyed mulch for color, or river rock and decomposed granite that handle our alkaline ground without washing into your caliche layer, we source right and install it clean. We edge beds tight, lay weed barrier where it matters, and don't just dump and leave.
Call us at (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours. We're licensed, insured, and family-built, serving residential and commercial properties across the I-35 corridor. Mulch fades and settles-ask us about refresh programs to keep your beds looking maintained year to year.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Buda property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and mulch & rock work that holds up to Hays County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Apply mulch 2 to 3 inches thick for the best results: enough to suppress weeds and hold soil moisture through Central Texas heat, but not so deep that it smothers roots. Keep mulch a few inches off plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot.
Both have a place: organic mulch improves soil and suits planting beds, while decomposed granite, gravel and river rock are low-maintenance and ideal for paths, dry areas and xeriscapes. Many Central Texas yards use mulch in plant beds and rock in high-traffic or water-wise zones.
Yes. Our clay holds moisture longer, speeding decomposition, and summer sun works faster on softer mulches. Hardwood and cedar both work here, but cedar lasts longer. We recommend checking beds every spring and planning refreshes every two to three years depending on which type you choose.
Decomposed granite (DG) compacts and drains through our caliche layer better, settling in over time. River rock stays in place, looks neat, but can shift with heavy rain. Both work; DG blends Buda's natural stone feel, while river rock suits modern borders. We help you pick based on your beds and budget.
Landscape fabric stops most weeds for two to three years here, longer if you add a good mulch layer on top. Seeds blow in too, but you'll see far fewer pushing through caliche. We install it right-overlapped, edges pinned-and it pays off in less pulling and spraying.
Cost depends on bed size, mulch or rock type, depth, and whether we're edging and laying barrier. That's why we do free on-site estimates. Call (737) 404-9343 and we'll walk your yard, measure, and give you honest numbers for hardwood, cedar, DG, river rock, or boulders.
Absolutely. Buda caliche sits shallow, so we plan depth carefully-usually two to three inches of mulch or rock over barrier. We don't dig deep if we don't need to, and we know which materials sit best on that limestone shelf without washing or settling into gaps.
Yes. Once your beds are set, we can top-dress and refresh every two to three years, keeping color and suppression going. It's cheaper than a full install and easier than managing it yourself. Schedule it annually and your beds stay finished looking without the hassle.
