Detention pond construction and maintenance, subsurface stormwater controls and pond water-quality management across Central Texas.
Lago Vista spreads across hills above Lake Travis, with long streets running down toward the water. Drainage here is mostly swales, culverts and smaller basins rather than large regional ponds, and they load up with gravel and caliche fines every time it rains hard. Commercial property is scattered, so a good deal of the maintenance burden falls on POA common areas and a handful of larger sites.
We clean and rebuild the pieces that actually carry water. Culvert inlets and outlets get dug out, swales get regraded where they have filled in or cut down, and basins get mowed, cleared and cleaned to their design depth. Brush that catches debris and blocks flow comes out. Sediment goes on a truck and off the property instead of into a pile beside the channel where it waits for the next storm.
If you sit on a POA board or manage property in Lago Vista, the cheaper version of this is staying ahead of it on a set schedule rather than calling after water has already found a building. Point us at the drainage that worries you and we will walk it with you. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site assessment.

We also provide ponds & stormwater in these nearby communities:
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.
Yes, and around Lago Vista that is the majority of the work. Swales, roadside ditches, culverts, channels and the small basins they feed all function as one system, and the whole thing needs to be open for any part of it to work. We maintain all of it on the same visit.
It can be reduced a lot. Usually the source is an unstabilized area upslope or a gravel surface shedding material, so we address the source and then rebuild the ditch section so flow does not stall there. Full cleanouts get scheduled before the wetter months either way.
Dated records of inspections and the work performed, with photos, are what protects a board. If a resident complains or the county asks questions, that file is your answer. We provide a report after each visit that is written for a board packet rather than for a contractor.
Yes. Rebuilding washed shoulders, resetting the apron or headwall protection and regrading the approach is standard work for us. If the culvert itself has shifted, cracked or separated at a joint, we will tell you, since that moves beyond maintenance.
Twice a year is a reasonable baseline here, timed before the typical wet periods, plus a look after any storm that produces real runoff. The failures out here happen quickly during single events, so what matters most is that nothing is blocked when one arrives.
