Native and drought-tolerant trees, shrubs and perennials installed to thrive.
Getting trees and shrubs to establish in Lockhart means respecting the deep blackland clay that built this county seat's farming legacy. That heavy, moisture-holding soil is a blessing and a challenge: it drains poorly in wet years and hardens like concrete in drought. Plant installation here requires selecting species tough enough to handle both extremes, then amending the clay and preparing planting holes so roots can actually reach water and air. Corral Bros knows Lockhart's soil and climate. We install native and drought-tolerant trees, shrubs, perennials and grasses chosen to thrive on your property, whether you're working with acreage south of town or a historic Square neighborhood lot.
Our process starts with understanding what's already in your soil and what will grow there. We handle proper hole prep, soil amendment, mulching and your first watering, then walk you through the first season so your plants survive and root in deep. A free on-site estimate usually happens within 48 hours of your call. We're licensed, insured, and we've been doing this work across the Hill Country and I-35 corridor long enough to know what fails in Lockhart clay and what thrives.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Lockhart property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and plant installation that holds up to Caldwell County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Drought-tolerant natives and adapted plants survive Central Texas summers best: Texas sage, salvia, lantana, esperanza, agave, red yucca, yaupon holly and ornamental grasses. We choose the right plant for each spot's sun and soil so it thrives instead of struggling through July and August.
We install plants properly, with the right hole prep, soil amendment, mulch and a first-season care plan, which is what gives them the best chance to thrive. Ask us about plant warranty options when we quote your project so you know exactly what is covered.
Lockhart's blackland clay doesn't drain well. Most plants die from root rot in wet periods or can't reach water during dry spells. Corral Bros selects native and adapted species for your site and breaks up the clay in planting holes, mixing in compost so roots establish fast and deep.
Cost depends on the number, size and species of plants, plus site prep needs. Corral Bros provides free, no-obligation on-site estimates within 48 hours so you see exactly what we recommend and what it will run. Call 737-404-9343 to schedule.
Fall planting works best here. Cooler temps and autumn rains help roots settle in before summer heat. Spring planting is possible for some species, but you're fighting dry months right away. We'll guide you on timing for the specific plants you want.
We install all of it: native and adapted trees, shrubs, ornamental grasses, and perennials. The right mix depends on your site's sun, soil, and what look and function you want. We help you see what will work and thrive together.
We mulch, give everything a good first watering, and hand you care guidance for the first season. In Lockhart's clay, young plants often need help during establishment, especially in late summer or drought. We'll tell you what to watch for.
