Custom wood and composite decks that expand your living space.
Lockhart's historic homes and working properties sit on deep blackland clay that demands solid footings and proper grading-exactly what a good deck needs to last. Corral Bros builds custom wood and composite decks across the county seat and surrounding acreage, designed and framed to handle our Texas weather and that clay soil beneath it.
Whether you're expanding a home near the Historic Square, adding living space to a ranch property in Clear Fork, or improving acreage in Brock, we handle site-specific challenges: drainage, settling soil, and the heat that cracks poor finishes. We pull permits, install frost-protected footings, and finish the wood or composite to last.
Call for a free no-obligation estimate-we typically schedule them within 48 hours. Licensed, insured, and locally owned, we work residential and commercial properties across the Hill Country and I-35 corridor.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lockhart property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and decks that holds up to Caldwell County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Composite decking resists Central Texas sun, heat and moisture with very little upkeep and lasts longer, while wood costs less up front but needs regular sealing and staining. We build both and help you weigh cost against long-term maintenance for your space.
Deck cost depends on size, materials (wood vs composite), height, and features like railings, steps and lighting. We design to your budget and give a clear, itemized quote, building on proper footings and framing so the deck is safe and lasts.
Lockhart sits on deep blackland clay that shifts and settles, especially in wet years. Shallow footings fail. Corral Bros digs frost-protected foundations below the clay's active zone and ensures drainage so water doesn't pond under your deck. That foundation work is invisible but keeps your deck from sagging or pulling away.
Both work, but they handle our heat and humidity differently. Pressure-treated wood costs less and ages naturally; composite resists rot and splinters, needs less staining, but costs more upfront. Lockhart summers are hot-composite won't scorch your feet like dark wood in July. We can show samples and discuss trade-offs on site.
Size, materials, and soil conditions set the price. We give honest no-obligation estimates after walking your site and understanding what you want. Ground conditions and access vary across Lockhart-Clay Fork versus Clear Fork versus town lots need different approaches. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule a free walk-through.
Yes. Corral Bros handles post-and-rail systems, composite balusters, and low-voltage LED lighting-all codes-compliant for Caldwell County. Lighting extends your usable evening hours and shows off the bones of the deck. Railings and stairs are part of the design from day one, not add-ons.
Pressure-treated wood lasts 15-20 years with routine staining every 2-3 years; composite outlasts it but costs more. Our footings, framing, and drainage design mean your deck won't fail early due to soil settling or water damage. Proper finishing in this heat and humidity makes the difference.
