Water-wise landscapes that look great through Texas drought and watering limits.
Lakeway sits high above Lake Travis, where limestone hillsides and the Texas heat mean water-smart landscaping isn't just trendy-it's practical. Xeriscaping turns your estate or golf-course-community property into a stunning landscape that thrives even when summer hits hard and watering limits tighten. Corral Bros has designed and built water-wise yards throughout The Hills, Rough Hollow, and Flintrock, where homeowners want the look of a mature landscape without the water bill or constant fussing.
The local ground here is rocky and well-draining, which sounds like a problem until you work with native and drought-tolerant plants that actually prefer it. We replace turf with a mix of native shrubs, ornamental grasses, and hardscaping-rock, gravel, and permeable surfaces-all anchored by drip irrigation that delivers water right where it counts. Your yard gets character and curb appeal while using a fraction of the water.
A free on-site estimate usually lands on your Lakeway calendar within 48 hours. We show you exactly what's possible on your lot, talk through the plants and materials that will feel right for your home, and give you the straight answer on cost and timeline. No high-pressure pitch, just neighborly advice from folks who know these hills.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lakeway property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and xeriscaping that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Xeriscaping is water-wise landscaping built around drought-tolerant plants, efficient drip irrigation and reduced turf. It can dramatically cut outdoor water use, which is often the largest part of a Central Texas water bill, while staying green and attractive through drought and watering restrictions.
No. A well-designed xeriscape is lush and colorful, using Texas natives and adapted perennials like salvia, lantana, esperanza and ornamental grasses alongside rock and gravel. The goal is beauty with low water, not a bare gravel lot.
Absolutely full of color and life. Native Texas shrubs like mountain laurel, flame acanthus, and esperanza stay green or flowering through most seasons. Add ornamental grasses, salvias, and evergreen groundcovers, and your yard feels lush without the needy turf. Corral Bros designs layers so you get texture and interest every time you look out the window.
It's actually an asset. The rocky, well-draining terrain here suits native and drought-tolerant plants that evolved in Texas limestone country. You avoid the boggy, compacted soil problems of flatter areas. Corral Bros uses the slope to your advantage-drainage is natural, plants establish faster, and maintenance stays low.
Upfront cost is often comparable or lower than high-quality traditional landscaping because you're using fewer plants, simpler irrigation, and less turf. The real savings hit your water bill and maintenance time month after month. Call Corral Bros at 737-404-9343 for a free estimate tailored to your Lakeway lot.
Yes. Corral Bros designs xeriscape beds and hardscaping with growth and future additions in mind. You might start with the front yard this year and expand to the back later. The bones of the landscape are there; planting and refining happen gradually as your vision develops.
Less than turf, but not zero. You'll weed and prune shrubs, refresh mulch or rock occasionally, and check drip emitters. Native plants in Lakeway's limestone soil don't need much feeding or babying. Most of our clients find they're working in the yard less and enjoying it more.
Corral Bros handles it end-to-end. We design the layout, source the plants and hardscaping, pull permits if needed, and build the finished landscape. You deal with one crew, one timeline, and one point of contact from start to finish.
