Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Buffalo Crossing properties in Cibolo.
Buffalo Crossing is still filling in. Three builders, Chesmar, Coventry, and Bellaire, are selling new homes in the community right now, which means a lot of the yards we get called to are brand new, with builder-grade sod over dirt that was compacted hard enough to hold a house up, not grow a lawn. The lots sit close together on a mapped boundary that runs right up against Schlather Park, so plenty of homeowners here are landscaping a yard for the first time with a park and its walking trails practically at the end of the block.
That young-yard stage is exactly where Central Texas clay makes itself known. The ground swells when it is wet and pulls away from itself when it dries, and backfill around a new foundation keeps settling for a season or two after the builder leaves. Grass planted over that subgrade needs the soil broken up before it needs more water, beds need real drainage so runoff does not pool against the slab, and young trees need deep, steady watering through a Hill Country summer instead of a quick daily sprinkle. Get the grading and the root zone right early and the yard matures fast. Skip it and you are fighting bare patches and foundation stress for years.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Buffalo Crossing property starts with a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We walk the lot, check the grade and the irrigation layout, and tell you straight what the yard needs this year versus what can wait. From there it might be a first landscape design, a drainage fix, tree establishment, or a mowing and maintenance schedule built around summer heat. We are licensed, insured, and local, and we handle residential and commercial work the same way, carefully.
We come out to the lot, walk the yard with you, and give you a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours of your call. Since Buffalo Crossing is still an active new-construction community with builders like Chesmar, Coventry, and Bellaire selling now, a lot of our visits here start with a young yard that needs its first real landscaping plan, not a rework of an old one.

It means roots and sprinkler lines both have to work around ground that swells and shrinks with moisture changes. On a new Buffalo Crossing slab, the backfill around the foundation is often still settling, so we grade beds to move water away from the house, extend downspouts where needed, and set irrigation zones that water deeply and slowly instead of flooding compacted subgrade. That approach protects both the lawn and the foundation over time.
New sod over construction subgrade needs the soil opened up before it needs more water, since compacted dirt under the turf sheds moisture instead of holding it. We aerate, adjust mowing height as temperatures climb, and tune irrigation run times through the hottest stretch so the lawn builds real root depth instead of just surviving on surface watering. A consistent mowing and feeding schedule through summer makes the biggest difference in a yard this young.
Yes, we prune, shape, and establish young trees, and we clear brush or overgrowth as needed. Most Buffalo Crossing yards are carrying builder-installed trees that are only a season or two old, so early staking, structural pruning, and correct watering now set the shape and health of those trees for years. We also handle larger removal or land-clearing work if a lot needs it.
We serve the whole I-35 corridor from San Antonio through Austin to Marble Falls, and Cibolo neighborhoods like Buffalo Crossing fall right in that service area. We are licensed, insured, and family-run, and we handle both residential and commercial properties, so whether it is a full landscape install on a new build near Schlather Park or ongoing lawn maintenance, it is work we take on regularly.
The mapped Town Creek channel runs close to the edge of the subdivision boundary, so lots on that side of the community should plan drainage and grading with water arriving from the creek direction in mind. Being within walking distance of Schlather Park is a nice feature of the location, but it does not change how we design or install your beds and irrigation, we still base that on your lot's own grade and sun exposure.
