Patios, decks, pergolas, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens that turn a backyard into a retreat.
Out here in Liberty Hill, the yard is often the biggest room on the property, and it usually sits empty because the ground underneath it is limestone hiding under a few inches of caliche. Corral Bros builds outdoor living spaces that work with that rock instead of fighting it, from patios in Santa Rita Ranch to shaded decks tucked into the wide acreage around Stonewall.
Thin ranch soil over limestone changes how a patio or retaining wall gets built. Bases need real excavation and compaction, not a quick tamp, or pavers heave the first time we get a hard freeze followed by spring rain. Newer sections like Rancho Sienna often have more consistent grading from development work, while older acreage nearby can throw surprises the moment a trencher hits rock. We plan for both.
Whether it is a full outdoor kitchen for entertaining or a simple paver walkway from the driveway to the back gate, we scope the ground first and design second. Corral Bros is locally owned, licensed and insured, and we handle residential and commercial work across Williamson County. Estimates are free, on-site, and usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call to (737) 404-9343.

Paver and stone patio cost depends on the square footage, the material you choose, site prep and any walls or features. A simple patio is far more affordable than a full outdoor living space with a kitchen and fire feature. Corral Bros designs to your budget and gives a clear, itemized quote.
Concrete pavers, flagstone and travertine all hold up well to Central Texas heat and storms when installed on a properly compacted base. Pavers are popular because individual units can be lifted and reset if needed, and they resist cracking better than a single poured slab over expansive clay.
That thin ranch soil sits right on limestone, which means we typically excavate less for a stable base but often hit rock that needs breaking up for footings and utility lines. Corral Bros grades and compacts a proper base layer under every patio and kitchen slab so you don't get the cracking and shifting that comes from skipping that step.
Cost depends on square footage, material choice and how much rock excavation your lot needs, which varies a lot between an older Stonewall property and a fresh Santa Rita Ranch lot. Corral Bros gives free, no-obligation on-site estimates, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get numbers specific to your yard instead of a generic quote.
Yes, and it's one of the most requested builds we do out there. A well-placed pergola with a shade cloth or angled slats cuts direct sun significantly during Texas summers, and pairing it with a patio or deck gives you a usable outdoor room instead of a yard you avoid from June through September.
Often, yes. Many lots around Santa Rita Ranch and the surrounding hills have enough grade change that a seating wall or retaining wall solves drainage problems while creating usable flat space for a patio or fire feature. We design walls to handle runoff from limestone hillsides, not just hold back dirt.
We build with materials rated for our heat, sudden cold snaps and heavy seasonal rain, including sealed stone, proper drainage under kitchen slabs, and hardware that won't rust out in a season. Corral Bros has built these systems across Williamson County acreage properties that see real weather swings year to year.
Most patios and decks run one to two weeks depending on size, material and how much site prep the limestone requires. Larger projects like a full outdoor kitchen or a combined patio and pergola build take longer. We walk through a realistic timeline during your on-site estimate before any contract is signed.
