Smart sprinkler systems, drip irrigation, pump installs and drainage that protects your yard.
Irrigation in Dripping Springs has to solve a problem most suburban systems never face: getting water into ground that is mostly limestone with a few inches of topsoil sitting on top of it. Whether you are out in Belterra, up in Headwaters, or on a bigger parcel in Caliterra, the rock shelf under your yard dictates where lines can run, how deep a French drain can go, and why that one corner of the property always seems to hold water after a storm. Corral Bros has been laying pipe and cutting drain lines through this ground long enough to know where the shortcuts fail.
A lot of what we do here is not standard suburban sprinkler work. Dripping Springs properties run bigger than a typical subdivision lot, often with wineries, ranchette acreage, or a well as the only water source, so pump sizing and zone planning matter more than they would on a quarter-acre in town. Cedar cover and shallow soil also mean drip irrigation frequently outperforms spray heads in beds and rows, since it puts water exactly where roots can reach it instead of running off rock.
Working with Corral Bros starts with a free on-site walk of your property, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and we handle both residential acreage and commercial sites across Hays County. You get a straight assessment of what your ground and your water source can actually support, not a generic system pulled off a template.

The fastest ways to cut your watering bill are a properly zoned sprinkler system, drip irrigation in beds, a smart controller with a rain sensor, and grouping plants by water need. Drip can use far less water than spray, and fixing leaks and overspray often pays for itself within a season.
Common signs of a sprinkler leak are a sudden jump in your water bill, soggy or eroding spots, unusually green patches, low pressure, or heads that weep when the system is off. Corral Bros runs a full system audit to find leaks, broken heads and dead zones, then quotes the repair.
The culprit is usually shallow soil over limestone. Lines get laid in only a few inches of dirt before hitting rock, so heat and foot traffic crack fittings faster than in deeper-soil areas. Corral Bros routes lines around bedrock and beds pipe deeper where we can, which cuts down on repeat repairs across Belterra and Caliterra.
Yes, and it is often the smarter call out here. Drip lines handle uneven, rocky ground better than spray heads because you are not fighting coverage gaps caused by outcrops. We design drip zones for native beds, orchard rows, and vineyard plantings common on Dripping Springs acreage so water goes to roots, not caliche.
We do. Plenty of Dripping Springs homes run on well water or sit along the Blanco and Onion Creek corridors, and standard city-pressure systems will not cut it there. Corral Bros sizes and installs pump systems matched to your well output or surface source, then ties them into the irrigation zones correctly.
The on-site estimate itself is free with no obligation, and we typically get someone out within 48 hours of your call. Actual system cost depends on square footage, zone count, and whether we are drilling through limestone. Call (737) 404-9343 and we will walk the property with you before quoting anything.
Limestone does not absorb water the way clay or loam does, so runoff moves fast and pools at the first low spot, often right next to a foundation or driveway. We grade and install French drains that account for that rock shelf instead of just the surface slope, which is a mistake we see a lot in Headwaters and Caliterra.
It should, and it is one of the easier upgrades we do. Smart controllers paired with rain sensors adjust run times based on real weather instead of a fixed schedule, which matters here where Hays County can swing from drought to a two-inch downpour in the same week. Less waste, fewer overwatered beds, lower bills.
