Inspection, cleaning and maintenance of stormwater best management practices, from ponds and swales to filters and underground structures.
In Lakeway, rain does not soak in so much as it runs off. Thin soil sitting on limestone sheds water fast down toward Lake Travis, and stormwater BMP maintenance here means staying ahead of what that runoff carries with it into every pond, swale and structure built to catch it.
On older sections of The Hills and Rough Hollow we routinely find the same pattern: a forebay silted in hard after a few heavy storm seasons, drawdown slowing to a crawl because an outlet pipe is half-choked with grit and leaves, and a cedar or hackberry seedling working its roots into an embankment nobody has walked in a year. Golf-course adjacent basins around Flintrock pick up fertilizer and clippings on top of the sediment load, which changes what the water looks like coming out the other side.
Working with us on this scope means a property manager or board gets a clear look at every pond, swale, filter and underground structure on site, cleaned and maintained on a schedule that fits how the property actually drains rather than a generic calendar. We handle access and scheduling around residents and traffic, document the work for your records, and tell you plainly what we found and what it will take to keep the system doing its job.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and stormwater bmp maintenance that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We schedule a free on-site visit, usually within 48 hours, and walk the pond, swale or structure with you or your engineer's plans in hand. On limestone sites like The Hills or Rough Hollow we check outlet structures and slope cover on foot since grades are often too steep for a quick drive-by look. You get a straightforward scope before any work starts.
Most Lakeway associations land on two inspections a year, spring and fall, with cleaning triggered by what we find rather than a fixed calendar. A forebay that silts in fast after one summer storm season may need attention sooner. Golf-course adjacent basins with heavy irrigation runoff often need closer watching than a standalone retail pad.
We stage equipment off cart paths and resident parking and schedule noisier cleaning work on weekdays when traffic through common areas is lighter. For gated communities we coordinate access with the HOA or management company ahead of time. Golf course sightlines and tee box schedules get worked around, not through.
Thin soil over limestone sheds water fast and carries sediment straight into forebays and basins instead of letting it settle upslope. Steep lots around Lake Travis also mean bare or eroding slopes and volunteer cedar or hackberry seedlings taking root on embankments where they can undermine the bank over time. We watch for both on every visit.
Access is the biggest factor, a basin tucked below a golf cart bridge or behind a gated estate section costs more to reach than one off a drive-up parking lot. Sediment volume in the forebay, the number of structures on site, and whether underground separators need confined-space cleaning also move the number. We price it after the walk, not before.
