Custom landscape design, sod, planting and decorative stone built for Central Texas soil and sun.
Landscaping and design in Elgin means building yards that hold up to mixed soil and hot Texas summers, and that is exactly what Corral Bros does across town. From the older lots near Downtown Elgin to homesteads along Highway 290, we handle design, sod, planting, mulch and rock, bed shaping, and grading. As a family-built local crew, we plan a yard around how you actually use it, then build it to last through the swings from spring rain to August drought.
The soil here shapes every decision. On sandier east-side ground, water drains fast and plants need mulch and drip to hold moisture, while blackland clay elsewhere holds water and demands smart grading so beds do not stay soggy. We grade for drainage first, then choose sod and natives that suit your specific lot. Corral Bros is licensed and insured, works on residential and commercial properties, and gives free on-site estimates usually within 48 hours. Call (737) 404-9343 to start your Elgin project.

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.
Cost depends on the size of the yard, the soil work involved, and what you are installing, so we price each Elgin project after seeing it. A simple bed refresh runs very differently from a full sod and grading job. Corral Bros gives free on-site estimates, usually within 48 hours, with clear line items and no obligation.
It depends which part of town you are in. Sandier east-side ground favors drought-tolerant natives and grasses that like fast drainage, while blackland clay areas suit plants that tolerate heavier, slower-draining soil. We match every selection to your lot so things establish and survive our hot summers rather than struggling.
Yes, and in Elgin we almost always start there. Getting water to move correctly off clay-heavy lots protects your beds, sod, and foundation. We grade and address drainage before planting so the finished yard drains right and the investment lasts through heavy spring downpours.
We do both. Corral Bros can design a full plan balancing curb appeal, water use, and upkeep, then install it with our own crew, so nothing gets lost between a drawing and the finished yard. You deal with one local, family-built team from first walkthrough to final cleanup in Elgin.
