Detention pond construction and maintenance, subsurface stormwater controls and pond water-quality management across Central Texas.
Leander is still being built, and that is the main force acting on ponds here. A basin finished last year sits downhill from a phase that is still bare dirt, so it fills with construction sediment faster than anyone budgeted for. The ground is rocky, which makes grass hard to establish on a slope and easy for flow to cut. Young associations end up owning all of it.
We clean out construction silt before it sets up hard in the bottom, pull the trash and lumber scraps that come with an active site, and get vegetation going on slopes using seed, sod or matting depending on how rough the ground is. Inlets and outlets get cleared so the pond actually draws down. Then mowing and inspections run on a regular cycle while the neighborhood finishes building out.
Boards, management companies and builders in Leander all run into the same handoff problem, which is a pond with no maintenance history behind it. We inspect it, write down what we find, and start a record you can keep and hand to the next manager. Call (737) 404-9343 and we will meet you out there for a free assessment.

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.
Active construction sites are required to control the sediment leaving their property, so documenting the discharge with dated photos and raising it with the builder and the city is the right first move. In the meantime the pond still has to function, so cleaning the forebay more often is the practical approach. We can run a higher frequency during the build and reduce it afterward.
Usually it takes imported topsoil, sod or a good seed mix, and erosion control matting pinned down to survive the first storms. Watering during establishment matters more than people expect. Without matting, new seed on a rocky slope tends to wash off before it roots.
It matters if a complaint or a review ever comes, since the records are what demonstrate the facility has been maintained. It also matters practically, because without a baseline nobody knows how fast the basin is filling in. We start the file with a documented inspection and keep adding to it.
Yes. Builders often carry the pond through a warranty period, and getting the construction cleanup, slope establishment and structure work done then saves the association real money. We can quote that scope separately so it is clear who is paying for what.
At minimum: mowing frequency by season, trash and debris removal, inspection of the inlets, outlet and spillway, and reporting with photos. Sediment removal is normally quoted separately when measurements call for it, since it is episodic. Anything requiring engineering should be named as excluded so expectations are clear.
