Patios, decks, pergolas, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens that turn a backyard into a retreat.
Cibolo homeowners in Bentwood Ranch, Falcon Ridge, and Buffalo Crossing keep asking us the same question: why does the patio slab from three summers ago already have a crack running through it? The answer is almost always the clay underneath. Outdoor living in Cibolo has to start with the ground, not the pretty pavers on top, and that is exactly how Corral Bros builds every patio, wall, and outdoor kitchen we put in.
These newer subdivisions are full of young landscapes still filling in, which is actually a good time to plan your outdoor space before mature trees and irrigation lines complicate the layout. But that same expansive clay that shifts with every wet-dry cycle will heave a poorly prepared patio or crack a retaining wall within a few seasons if it is not built right. We excavate deeper, compact properly, and use flexible joint systems and reinforced footings so your hardscape moves with the soil instead of fighting it.
Working with us is straightforward: we walk your yard, talk through how you actually want to use the space, and build something that will still look right in fifteen years, not just fifteen months.

We also provide outdoor living in these nearby communities:
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.
It is almost always the expansive clay soil common in Cibolo neighborhoods like Falcon Ridge and Bentwood Ranch. That clay swells when wet and shrinks when dry, and a thin base under a patio cannot handle that movement. Corral Bros excavates deeper than the minimum, compacts a proper aggregate base, and uses flexible joints so the surface holds up through Texas wet-dry cycles.
Every yard and project is different, so we do not quote prices without seeing the site. Soil conditions, slope, and what you are building all factor in. Corral Bros offers free, no-obligation on-site estimates for Cibolo homeowners, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get real numbers based on your actual property.
Not at all. In fact, planning your patio, retaining wall, or outdoor kitchen before landscaping fully matures makes layout easier and avoids working around established trees and irrigation later. Corral Bros regularly builds outdoor living spaces in newer Cibolo subdivisions where the yard is still filling in.
Many lots in these newer Cibolo developments have graded slopes for drainage, and a retaining or seating wall can level out usable space while managing runoff. Corral Bros designs walls with proper footings and drainage to handle both the grade and the area's clay soil, so the wall stays put instead of leaning or bowing.
Stone and paver patios, pergolas with sturdy posts, and properly footed retaining walls all perform well here if built with the right base and materials. Corral Bros engineers every hardscape, from walkways to outdoor kitchens, to handle Cibolo's heat, heavy rain, and shifting clay for the long haul.
Yes. We build full outdoor kitchens, fire features, and the patios or seating walls around them, sized to fit typical Cibolo lots in areas like Bentwood Ranch. Call (737) 404-9343 and we will walk the space with you and figure out what fits and what it needs structurally before anything gets built.
