Decorative mulch, gravel and stone that finish beds and cut down on weeds.
Mulch and rock work in Manor is what stops that heavy blackland clay from turning your landscape beds into a muddy mess while your neighborhood grows up around you. The rapid expansion out through ShadowGlen, Whisper Valley, and Stonewater means plenty of new construction and fresh properties where good mulch and stone work makes the real difference between a finished look and bare dirt.
In Manor's deep clay soil, mulch does double duty: it keeps weeds down (which matter when you're competing with prairie growth) and it holds in moisture during our hot, dry stretches. Rock and stone work anchors your beds and handles drainage better than mulch alone, especially important on properties where that clay tends to hold water.
Corral Bros brings mulch and rock supplies to Manor from our base in Maxwell, along with the equipment and crew who know how to work with Manor soil instead of against it. We handle everything from fresh bed edging to hardwood, cedar, and dyed mulch, plus decomposed granite, river rock, and boulders. Free on-site estimates usually schedule within 48 hours, and we offer refresh programs to keep your color true as mulch breaks down in our Texas sun.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Manor property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and mulch & rock work that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Apply mulch 2 to 3 inches thick for the best results: enough to suppress weeds and hold soil moisture through Central Texas heat, but not so deep that it smothers roots. Keep mulch a few inches off plant stems and tree trunks to prevent rot.
Both have a place: organic mulch improves soil and suits planting beds, while decomposed granite, gravel and river rock are low-maintenance and ideal for paths, dry areas and xeriscapes. Many Central Texas yards use mulch in plant beds and rock in high-traffic or water-wise zones.
Both have their place. Mulch helps break down and improve clay over time while keeping weeds down, but rock and decomposed granite handle drainage better in clay-heavy areas where water sits. Many Manor properties use both: rock in problem spots, mulch in beds. We assess your specific yard conditions during the free estimate.
Plan on refresh annually or every 18 months depending on sun exposure and our Texas heat. Dyed mulch holds color longer than hardwood. ShadowGlen and Whisper Valley properties often see faster color fade due to afternoon sun. Corral Bros offers refresh programs to keep your beds looking sharp year after year without the hassle.
Pricing depends on bed size, mulch type, edging needs, and current yard conditions. New construction and clay removal can affect cost. Call us at 737-404-9343 for a free no-obligation on-site estimate. We usually schedule within 48 hours and give you real numbers based on your specific property.
Manor's prairie soil creeps into garden beds fast, and clay compaction makes the edge between lawn and bed blur quickly. Clean edging with a weed barrier underneath stops that invasion, keeps mulch from washing into the grass, and gives new subdivisions that polished, finished appearance. It's especially worth doing if you plan to stay a few years.
Yes. New builds in Stonewater and ShadowGlen often come with minimal or poor-quality mulch. We remove old material, refresh bed edging, and install fresh mulch and stone that complements your home's look. We handle residential and commercial properties and work around existing plants and irrigation without issue.
