Engineered retaining and seating walls that tame slopes and stop erosion.
Cibolo's newer subdivisions like Bentwood Ranch and Falcon Ridge sit on expansive clay soils that shift and settle with the seasons, making slope erosion and grade problems a real issue for young landscaping. A well-engineered retaining wall does more than hold back soil-it stops runoff damage, creates usable yard space, and stands up to our clay's constant movement. Corral Bros builds retaining and seating walls that are sized and drained for Cibolo's specific ground and weather, from single-run garden walls to multi-tiered terraced systems.
When we assess your site, we're looking at slope angle, water flow, and how your clay is likely to behave over the next decade. Proper base preparation and drainage are everything in Cibolo soil. We use block, stone, or boulder walls depending on what your yard needs and how long you want to keep it, then backfill and grade so water doesn't pool and worsen the problem.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Cibolo property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and retaining walls that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
You need a retaining wall when a slope is eroding, you want to level a yard for usable space, or you need to manage water and grade changes around a patio or foundation. Retaining walls are common on the rocky, hilly lots throughout Central Texas.
As a general rule, retaining walls taller than about 4 feet, or walls holding back heavy loads, require engineering and often a permit in Central Texas. We build to code, with proper base and drainage, and bring in engineering when a project calls for it.
Expansive clay heaves and shrinks with moisture swings, pushing walls outward. Poor drainage lets water build behind the wall, increasing pressure. Without proper base compaction and backfill slope, failure is likely. We design for Cibolo's soil behavior and install deep footings and drainage that keep walls stable.
Price depends on wall height, length, material, and site prep. A short garden wall runs less than a terraced slope system. We give free estimates on-site so we can measure, check drainage, and give you an honest number based on your actual conditions. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule.
Walls save yard space and look cleaner in newer subdivisions like Falcon Ridge. Slopes take more room but suit some sites. We assess your grade, soil, and drainage during the estimate and tell you which makes sense. Sometimes a combination works best for Cibolo's clay terrain.
Yes. We design and build seating walls that also hold slope and manage erosion. They're popular in Buffalo Crossing and similar areas where families want outdoor living space that also solves a grade problem. Same engineering, better use of your yard.
Stone and properly installed block walls last 20-30 years or more if drainage stays good and the base is solid. Cibolo's clay movement is the main stress. Quality materials, correct base prep, and annual drainage checks keep walls lasting. We use proven building methods for our soil and climate.
