End standing water, soggy spots and erosion with engineered drainage.
Lakeway sits on limestone hillsides that slope toward Lake Travis, which means water either runs hard or pools in the wrong places. Standing water in yards, soggy patches near foundations, and erosion cutting through slopes are common problems on lakeside estates and golf-course properties here. Corral Bros brings engineered drainage solutions to Lakeway neighborhoods like The Hills, Rough Hollow, and Flintrock, turning swampy spots into usable land and protecting your investment from water damage.
The local terrain is both beautiful and challenging. Limestone doesn't absorb water the way deeper soil does, so surface runoff can be dramatic after heavy rains. We start every job with a site grading assessment to understand how water moves across your property, then design the right fix, whether that's French drains, channel drains, a dry creek bed, or downspout and surface drain work. Our crew knows this Hill Country ground.
We are locally owned and family-built, licensed and insured for both residential and commercial work. We offer free no-obligation on-site estimates, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you can see exactly what we propose before committing to anything.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and drainage solutions that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Standing water is fixed by correcting the grade and adding drainage that carries water away: French drains, channel drains, downspout extensions and dry creek beds. We assess how water moves across your property, then design a system suited to Central Texas clay and heavy storms.
A French drain is a gravel-filled trench with perforated pipe that collects and redirects subsurface and surface water away from problem areas and foundations. You likely need one if you have soggy spots, water against the house, or a slope that sheds water toward your home.
Lakeway's limestone base and clay-heavy soils don't drain naturally like sandy soils do. Water pools on the surface and in low spots instead of percolating down. Corral Bros assesses your grading and slope to identify where water is getting trapped, then installs drains or grades the land to move that water away from your home and landscaping.
French drains work well here because they collect water at problem spots and direct it away underground or toward storm drains. We size them based on your property's slope and rainfall patterns. The limestone hillsides mean we often pair French drains with surface grading adjustments to handle the volume of water that runs downslope during Hill Country storms.
Cost depends on your property size, the drainage problem, and which solution fits best. A French drain system runs differently than a full regrading project. We offer free estimates so you know the price upfront, no surprises. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to schedule an on-site walk-through of your Lakeway property.
Yes. Erosion is serious on Lakeway's limestone slopes, especially in The Hills and Rough Hollow where grades are steep. We install channel drains, dry creek beds, and stabilized swales to control water flow and hold soil in place. Proper grading and drainage work together to stop erosion before it damages your landscape and foundations.
Dry creek beds are both functional and beautiful on sloping properties. They direct water along a natural-looking path downslope, prevent erosion, and look like part of your landscape design. We design them to handle the volume of runoff from your specific Lakeway location and install them with proper grading so water flows where you want it.
