The right trees, planted right, for shade and value that grows for decades.
Planting trees in Lockhart means choosing species that can handle blackland clay and the heat that builds on those historic county-seat acres. The Square, Clear Fork, working properties south of Austin-they all share the same deep, heavy soil and the same thirst for shade that lasts decades. Corral Bros plants right: proper depth, root-flare exposed, mulch laid to hold water through our dry summers, and a deep-water establishment plan that gets new trees through their first critical year.
That blackland clay holds moisture longer than sandy Hill Country soil, which sounds like help but actually means we have to be more careful about drainage and planting depth. Too deep and roots rot. Too shallow and they dry out in July. We know the ground here, and we know which native and adapted trees thrive on it-live oak, post oak, pecan, bald cypress, sycamore. We place them where they earn shade for your home and room to grow for decades.

The best shade trees for Central Texas include live oak, cedar elm, Texas red oak, bur oak, Mexican sycamore and Monterrey oak, all adapted to local soil and heat. We help you pick the right species for your space, then plant it correctly for decades of growth.
Fall through winter is the best time to plant trees in Central Texas, giving roots several months to establish before summer heat. Spring is the next-best window. Fall-planted trees need the least supplemental water to get going.
Absolutely, but it takes the right species and the right planting method. Live oak, post oak, pecan, and bald cypress thrive here because they evolved in blackland soils like ours. The key is planting at the correct depth, avoiding compaction, and establishing a deep-water schedule. We handle all that. Wrong species or poor planting in clay leads to root rot or slow growth-we don't let that happen.
Price depends on tree size, how many you're planting, and your property's access. We give free on-site estimates within 48 hours so you see exactly what's involved before you commit. Call (737) 404-9343 and we'll schedule a walk through your land. No obligation, no estimate fee.
Late fall through early spring gives new trees the gentlest start-cooler air, lower evaporation, and rain to help roots settle. Summer planting works too, but requires closer watering in our heat. We can plant year-round if needed, and we'll build the right establishment plan either way so your investment survives and grows.
We stake it properly for support, apply mulch to hold moisture and moderate soil temperature, and give you a deep-water schedule for the first year. That establishment period is critical in our heat and clay. We're licensed and insured, and we can stop by to check on young trees if you want ongoing peace of mind.
Yes. We do residential and commercial planting-county-seat homes, working acreage, ranch land, all of it. Bring us your site and we'll talk through spacing, species choice, and how trees fit into your land. Free estimate, (737) 404-9343.
Native Lockhart trees-live oak, post oak, pecan, bald cypress-are proven on blackland clay and handle our climate. They're usually the smartest choice for long-term growth and minimal maintenance. We can discuss non-native options too, but we'll be honest about how hard they have to work here. Species selection is part of every estimate.
