Custom landscape design, sod, planting and decorative stone built for Central Texas soil and sun.
Landscaping in Cibolo comes with one challenge almost every homeowner here eventually runs into: expansive clay soil that swells after rain and shrinks in the dry stretches, putting real stress on foundations and on whatever is planted too close to them. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design has worked this clay across Guadalupe County long enough to know how to grade, plant, and build beds that work with it instead of against it.
So much of Cibolo, especially newer sections like Bentwood Ranch, Falcon Ridge, and Buffalo Crossing, is still in that awkward early stage where the landscape has not caught up to the house yet. Builder sod is thin, beds are an afterthought, and young trees have not grown enough to offer real shade. We design around where your property actually is right now, not where a generic plan assumes it should be, with grading and bed shaping that account for how this clay moves water.
Working with us starts with a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually set up within 48 hours of your call. We are a locally owned, family-built crew, licensed and insured, and we handle everything from custom 3D design through sod installation, native and drought-tolerant planting, and finished stone or mulch beds for both homes and commercial properties across the area.
We walk your Cibolo property and assess the site.
An itemized estimate with no surprises.
Tidy local crews and modern equipment.
Results made for Guadalupe County, plus optional upkeep.
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.
We start with a walk of the lot to check grading and soil condition, since so many Bentwood Ranch yards were graded fast and never properly amended. From there we build a plan covering bed layout, sod type, and plant selection so the whole yard fills in evenly instead of patchy sections fighting each other.
Yes, and it is one of the first things we plan around in Cibolo. Expansive clay swells and shrinks with moisture swings, so we grade beds and lawns to shed water away from the slab, choose plants that will not need heavy daily watering right at the foundation, and shape beds to avoid trapping moisture against the house.
It is a free on-site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call, where we walk the property, talk through what you want, and take measurements for sod, beds, or a full redesign. You get a straightforward written plan and pricing after that, no pressure and no obligation to move forward.
It depends on sun exposure more than neighborhood. Many lots in Falcon Ridge and Buffalo Crossing have young trees that have not filled in yet, so full sun areas do well with Bermuda, while shadier side yards near fences or structures usually hold up better with St. Augustine. We will look at your actual light pattern before recommending either.
Usually yes. Young Cibolo subdivisions often have uneven establishment because builder soil varies lot to lot. We can re-grade problem spots, top-dress with better soil, overseed or patch sod, and adjust plant beds that were never quite right, without tearing out everything that is already working.
We do both under one crew, from initial 3D planning through sod laying, bed shaping, and stone or mulch installation. That means the plan we draw up accounts for real-world Cibolo conditions like clay drainage, and the same team installing it is the one that designed it.
