Detention pond construction and maintenance, subsurface stormwater controls and pond water-quality management across Central Texas.
Cibolo has added subdivision after subdivision, which means a lot of brand-new detention ponds sitting inside brand-new HOAs. Boards inherit these basins from the builder with no maintenance history and no clear picture of what the pond is supposed to do. Meanwhile sediment from the next phase of construction keeps washing in. The first few years decide whether a pond gets established or starts quietly losing capacity.
We handle the turnover work. Construction silt and trash come out, the ruts and bare spots left by equipment get repaired, grass gets going on the slopes, and the inlets and outlet get cleared so the basin drains the way the plan says it should. After that it is regular mowing, trash pickup and a structure check a few times a year. We keep the swales feeding the pond clear at the same time.
For a Cibolo board or the management company running the association, the goal is a maintenance file that actually exists and a pond nobody complains about. We will inspect what you have, tell you plainly what shape it is in, and break the work into stages if the budget needs that. Ask us to look before your next board meeting.

Yes. Corral Bros is a pond and stormwater contractor serving Central Texas, we build detention and retention ponds, maintain them, install and service subsurface stormwater control measures (SCMs), and manage pond water quality. Most of this work is for commercial properties, HOAs, developments and municipalities along the Austin–San Antonio corridor.
Detention pond maintenance keeps a basin working and inspection-ready: sediment and silt removal, mowing and vegetation control, clearing inlets, outlets and outfall structures, repairing erosion, and regrading as needed. We can also provide inspection documentation to support regulatory compliance.
Start with an inspection and a copy of the approved drainage plan, which tells you the pond's design depth, outlet type and drawdown expectation. Then compare that to what is actually out there. Most builder handoffs need construction silt removed, slopes repaired and vegetation established before any routine schedule makes sense.
In most Central Texas subdivisions the detention facility stays private and the association maintains it, with the city reviewing and inspecting. Your plat notes, dedication documents and CCRs will say. If the basin was accepted into public maintenance, that is documented too, and it is worth confirming before you spend association money.
Document it with dated photos and report it, since active sites are required to control sediment leaving their property. In the meantime the practical move is cleaning your forebay more often so the material does not spread across the whole basin floor. We can set a higher frequency during the neighboring build and drop back after.
Quite a bit. Regular mowing, trimmed edges, trash removal and healthy turf change how a basin reads to residents, and it is also what keeps it functioning. We can mow slopes to a clean finish rather than just knocking down weeds, which is usually the difference people notice.
Routine mowing, trash removal and inspections are a modest recurring line. The item that surprises boards is periodic sediment removal, which is infrequent but larger, so it belongs in the reserve study rather than the annual operating budget. We will measure your basin and tell you roughly how far out that is.
