Repair and stabilization of eroded pond slopes, embankments and channels using grading, soil stabilization, vegetation or riprap.
Detention pond erosion repair in Manor comes up more often than most boards expect, mostly because the east-side subdivisions here are new enough that their basins have not finished settling in. ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, and Stonewater were all built out fast, and a pond that was graded and seeded two or three years ago is often still thin on root structure when the first real gully shows up on the slope.
The blackland clay under Manor is the real driver. It sheds water hard once it is saturated, so a heavy spring storm can turn a bare or lightly vegetated slope into a set of rills overnight. We see slow drawdown where sediment has built up in the forebay, outlet structures half blocked by silt and debris, and volunteer trees taking root on embankments where nobody has mowed close enough to stop them. On new construction sites, it is often just thin turf that never got a chance to hold the grade before the first big rain hit it.
Working with Corral Bros on this scope starts with a walk of the pond, not a form. We look at the slope, the channel, and the outfall, tell you plainly what is failing and why, and scope the regrading, stabilization, and planting the site actually needs. We are licensed and insured, locally owned, and we handle this alongside your property engineer's plan where one exists. No guessing, no upsell, just the repair the basin needs to hold through the next storm season.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Manor property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and detention pond erosion repair that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Call (737) 404-9343 and we schedule a free on-site visit, usually within 48 hours. We walk the embankment and channel with you, flag the eroded sections, and point out what is driving the damage before anything gets a price. You get a straightforward scope and a quote based on what the slope actually needs, not a guess from a satellite photo.
It depends on age and grade, but a lot of ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley basins start showing rill erosion or a silted forebay within a few years of construction, especially where the slope was seeded thin. Heavy spring downpours on blackland clay accelerate it. A basin with bare slopes or visible gullies after storms should get looked at that season, not next year.
We stage equipment and materials to keep drive aisles and resident parking open, and we coordinate timing with the property manager or HOA contact so mowing crews, leasing traffic, and amenity use are not disrupted. Most slope and channel work happens within the pond footprint itself, away from units and storefronts, so day-to-day access stays normal.
Manor sits on deep blackland clay that swells, cracks, and sheds water fast once it is saturated, so slopes that look stable in dry weather can slump or rill hard after a heavy rain. New-construction basins in Stonewater and similar corridors often have thin topsoil and young turf, which erodes before roots take hold. We grade and stabilize with that clay behavior in mind, not a generic soil mix.
Slope length and steepness, how much regrading is needed versus just stabilization, whether riprap or matting is required at the outfall, and how overgrown the embankment has gotten with volunteer trees or brush all factor in. A pond that just needs reseeding costs far less than one with a blocked outlet and a washed-out channel. The site walk gives you the real number.
