Detention pond construction and maintenance, subsurface stormwater controls and pond water-quality management across Central Texas.
Liberty Hill has gone from a quiet stop on 29 to a town with new schools, commercial strips and light industrial yards, and every one of those sites brought a detention basin with it. They tend to be larger and more open than city ponds, cut into caliche and rock. After a long dry spell the ground is hard and bare, then a storm drops two or three inches and nearly all of it runs.
Big open basins need tractor mowing and brush control more than anything else, because mesquite and cedar will claim a slope in two seasons. We also clean out forebays and bottoms, repair the inflow points where runoff has dug in, rebuild eroded slopes with matting, and keep the emergency spillway clear. Culverts at the drive and the ditches along the frontage get cleaned during the same visit.
Commercial owners and developers in Liberty Hill often need the first cleanup to be substantial and the upkeep after that to be cheap. We quote both parts separately so you can see the difference before committing to a schedule. The look costs nothing, and we will tell you if the pond is fine the way it is. Call (737) 404-9343.

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.
An inspection that gets through the brush and finds the structures, because the outlet and inlets are often buried or hidden by growth. Then we price the restoration, which is typically clearing, sediment removal and slope repair, and separately price the ongoing schedule. Knowing both numbers makes the budget conversation simple.
Cut it while it is small and keep the mowing cycle regular. Once a stand establishes, removal becomes a clearing project with stumps and haul-off. Woody growth in the embankment or spillway is the part that genuinely matters, since roots create channels for water through the structure.
Yes. During construction the forebay fills quickly and the slopes are bare, so cleaning and stabilizing as you go keeps the final handoff small. It also means the basin that gets turned over to an owner or an association is actually in the condition the plan expects.
Timing is most of it. We mow when the ground will support the equipment, and if the bottom is holding water we deal with the drainage problem first rather than driving through it. Ruts in a basin floor channel water and make the next problem worse.
It is the overflow path that keeps water from going over the top of the embankment in an extreme storm. If it is overgrown, eroded or partly blocked, it cannot carry what it was sized for. Mowing it, clearing woody growth and repairing erosion at the crest and downstream face keeps it available.
