Cleaning, mowing, grading, vegetation control, debris removal and erosion repair for drainage swales, channels, ditches and culverts.
Walk the culverts along Flintrock after a dry stretch and you will usually find the same thing: a mouth half packed with limestone gravel and cedar litter, water finding its own path around the pipe instead of through it. In The Hills and Rough Hollow, the swales that carry runoff down toward Lake Travis get the same treatment from us, swale, channel and culvert maintenance, on a schedule set by the ground and the storms, not the calendar.
Lakeway sits on limestone hillsides that do not absorb much, so rain that falls hard moves fast and carries a lot of rock fines and cedar debris with it. That shows up as a silted forebay below a golf-course fairway, a channel bank that has started to slump where a maintenance crew has been mowing too close, or a culvert under a cart path running half full because the outlet end is choked with gravel and brush. On older sections of Rough Hollow we also see volunteer ash juniper taking root in an embankment, which looks tidy until the roots start working the soil loose. None of it is dramatic on its own. It adds up until a normal rain backs water into a parking lot or a fairway.
For the person who has to answer for the drainage on a property like this, working with us usually means a walk of the system together, a plain list of what we found, and a schedule built around your HOA calendar or your tenants rather than ours. We clean, mow, grade, clear culverts and ditches, and repair erosion as it comes up, in that order of priority, so the water has somewhere to go before the next front rolls in off the Hill Country.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and swale, channel & culvert maintenance that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We schedule a free, no-obligation site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call, and walk the swales, channels or culverts with you or your community manager. We note silted areas, blocked culvert ends, bare or slumping banks, and vegetation problems, then put together a scope and a price before any work starts.
Most communities here need a check after any heavy spring or fall rain event, plus a seasonal pass for mowing and vegetation control. Properties near Lake Travis with steeper limestone slopes, like sections of The Hills and Rough Hollow, tend to silt in faster and need culvert clearing more often than flatter sites.
Yes. We schedule around cart path usage on golf-course communities, resident parking in Rough Hollow and Flintrock, and any HOA event calendar you send us. Most swale and culvert work does not require closing a road or lot, and when it does, we coordinate the timing with your management office first.
Thin soil over limestone sheds water fast and carries rock fines, cedar needles and leaf litter straight into channels and culvert mouths. That means more frequent debris clearing than you would see on deeper, softer soils, and it means erosion repair on slopes often has to address exposed rock and compacted ground, not just bare dirt.
The main drivers are how much silt and debris has built up, how many culvert crossings are involved, the length of channel that needs mowing or reshaping, and whether erosion repair requires regrading a slope or just stabilizing it. Properties with golf-course crossings or multiple outfalls toward the lake generally take more time than a single straight ditch.
