Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Steeplechase properties in Kyle.
Steeplechase sits in Kyle off Keystone Loop, Henke Cove, Riley Cove, and Elmer Cove, a pocket of small-lot homes on blackland clay. The homes here went up around 2000 on small interior lots, many close to a sixth of an acre, and the trees planted back then are tall enough now to throw real shade across a back yard. That is an older, settled yard in a neighborhood mostly known for its newer, modest houses, and it tells you something: not every lot here is a blank slate, and some already have mature canopy worth protecting.
On a level, clay-heavy lot that size, water does not soak in, it runs. Every sprinkler zone is short, every head sits close to a fence or a driveway, and Kyle's Stage 3 drought rules do not leave much room for error, with runoff banned past 50 feet off the property line and street ponding capped at a quarter inch. Add real shade from established trees and you get two different yards on one lot: dry, exposed ground out front and shaded turf out back that will not hold without the right grass or a shift to mulched beds. Trees that old need structural pruning on a schedule, not just trimming when they look shaggy.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Steeplechase property starts with a free, no-obligation site visit, usually scheduled within 48 hours, where we look at your grade, your irrigation, and your trees before we talk about any plan. From there it is grading and drainage work to keep water on your property instead of in the street, drip conversions and hand-watering plans that fit inside the legal watering windows, and tree and lawn maintenance built around what your specific lot is doing, not a generic package.
We work addresses throughout Kyle and the Steeplechase streets off Keystone Loop, Henke Cove, Riley Cove, and Elmer Cove are part of that route. Call (737) 404-9343 and we will get an on-site estimate on the books, usually within 48 hours, and talk through what your specific lot needs before any crew shows up.
We come out, walk the lot, and look at the grade, the irrigation, the trees, and whatever is actually causing the problem you called about. It is free and there is no obligation. On a small interior lot you can usually expect a straightforward visit, since there is less ground to cover than on an acreage property.
Blackland clay bakes hard in summer and sheds water instead of absorbing it, so on a level lot water either sits or runs off fast. That matters under Kyle's Stage 3 rules, since runoff cannot travel 50 feet or more off your property or pond in the street over a quarter inch. We grade and set drip lines to keep water on your beds and off the pavement.
Stage 3 gives you one watering day a week by address, spray only from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m., drip or soaker hose from 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. A handheld hose with a shut-off nozzle is the only method allowed any day, still limited to 7 p.m. to 10 a.m. We convert spray zones to drip where it makes sense and set up a hand-watering plan so new plantings establish without wasting a single legal watering window.
Yes. At least one confirmed Steeplechase lot carries trees over 40 feet tall with a backyard described as shaded, and trees that size need structural pruning and deadwood removal, not shaping. We handle that work along with brush clearing, and we will tell you honestly if turf under that much canopy needs to shift to shade-tolerant grass or mulched beds instead.
We have not confirmed an HOA for Steeplechase one way or the other, so check your closing documents or ask a neighbor before you assume there are no rules. Either way, we are licensed and insured for residential and commercial work and can adjust a design or a maintenance plan to whatever guidelines apply to your address.
