Smart sprinkler systems, drip irrigation, pump installs and drainage that protects your yard.
Irrigation in Lockhart has to answer to one thing first: blackland clay. This ground was built for cotton and corn, and it holds water like a fist. Get the sprinkler timing wrong on a Historic Square lawn or a Clear Fork bed and you either flood the root zone or watch it bake into a brick by August. Corral Bros designs around that clay instead of fighting it, with cycle-and-soak run times and head placement that actually match how this soil drinks.
Out toward Brock and the working acreage south of town, the job shifts. Wells and pond draws need pump systems that hold pressure across long runs, and drainage matters as much as delivery, since blackland clay sheds a hard rain fast once it's saturated and sends it straight toward the low corner of the property. We install French drains and grade fixes alongside the irrigation work so the two systems support each other instead of undoing one another.
Whether you're watering a century-old yard downtown or a few acres out past the loop, we show up, walk the ground with you, and build a system sized to your soil, your slope, and your water source.

The fastest ways to cut your watering bill are a properly zoned sprinkler system, drip irrigation in beds, a smart controller with a rain sensor, and grouping plants by water need. Drip can use far less water than spray, and fixing leaks and overspray often pays for itself within a season.
Common signs of a sprinkler leak are a sudden jump in your water bill, soggy or eroding spots, unusually green patches, low pressure, or heads that weep when the system is off. Corral Bros runs a full system audit to find leaks, broken heads and dead zones, then quotes the repair.
That's classic blackland clay behavior. It absorbs slowly, so a normal run time floods low spots before high ground even gets soaked. Corral Bros fixes this in Lockhart yards with cycle-and-soak scheduling, shorter multiple runs instead of one long one, plus head adjustments so pressure and coverage match the actual grade.
Often both. If water is pooling near a foundation or along a fence line in Clear Fork or Brock after a storm, that's usually a grading and drainage issue, not a sprinkler zone. We assess the site first, since clay soil sheds water fast once saturated, and recommend a French drain only where it will actually solve the runoff.
Estimates are free with no obligation, and we typically get on-site within 48 hours of your call. We walk the property, check your water source and soil, and give you straight numbers for installation, repair, or drainage work before anything is scheduled.
Yes. A lot of the acreage around Lockhart, especially out toward Brock, runs on wells or draws from a pond or tank. We size pump systems for those sources so pressure holds steady across long zone runs, which matters more out here than it does on a standard city-water lot.
If your water bill is climbing or you're seeing brown patches next to soggy ones, start with an audit before replacing anything. Corral Bros checks head alignment, controller settings, and zone pressure across older Historic Square systems all the time, and a tune-up often solves what looks like a bigger problem.
It helps a lot. Smart controllers paired with a rain sensor stop watering during and right after storms, which matters on blackland clay since it stays saturated longer than sandier soil. That alone prevents the overwatering that leads to root rot and fungus in Lockhart lawns.
