Repair and stabilization of eroded pond slopes, embankments and channels using grading, soil stabilization, vegetation or riprap.
New Braunfels gets hit with fast, heavy rain off the Hill Country edge, the kind that pushes the Guadalupe and Comal out of their banks and sends sheet flow straight down whatever slope stands between a parking lot and a detention pond. Corral Bros repairs and stabilizes eroded pond slopes, embankments, and channels for property managers and boards across New Braunfels who need the basin working again before the next storm, not months from now.
The ground here does not cooperate. Rocky Hill Country edge soils around Vintage Oaks hold their shape until a hard rain finds a weak spot, then cut a channel straight down the embankment. Riverfront sand near Gruene and along the river corridors moves even faster, leaving bare slopes and a silted forebay in a single wet season. We also see volunteer trees taking root on embankments that were never maintained after handover, and outlets choked with sediment that slow drawdown to a crawl.
Working with us on this scope means a site walk, a straight answer on what is causing the erosion, and a plan to regrade, stabilize, and revegetate the slope or channel so it holds through the next rain event. We work alongside whatever engineer is attached to the property and build to that plan. Estimates are free, usually scheduled within 48 hours, and we are licensed, insured, and used to handling HOA and commercial sites without disrupting residents or tenants.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your New Braunfels property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and detention pond erosion repair that holds up to Comal County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the basin with whoever manages the property, whether that is a board member, a community association manager, or a GC closing out a site, and look at the slopes, the forebay, the outlet structure, and any channel feeding or leaving the pond. Estimates are free and we usually get on-site within 48 hours. You get a plan for what needs regrading, stabilizing, or replanted before the next heavy rain.
It depends on the age of the development and how the slopes were seeded at construction. A pond handed over a few years ago with thin grass cover will usually show bare spots and rilling well before a mature basin with established turf. Most properties here end up doing some slope or channel work every few years, more often if there is heavy tree cover or riverfront sand in the mix.
Yes. Most of our detention pond work happens along fence lines, in common areas, or behind retail centers, so we stage equipment and materials to keep drive lanes and parking open. We coordinate timing with the property manager or HOA so residents and tenants are not surprised by crews or temporary fencing around the basin.
Rocky Hill Country edge soils hold a shape until a hard rain cuts a channel straight through them, while riverfront sand near the Guadalupe and Comal moves fast and leaves slopes bare in one season. Both conditions show up as silted forebays, slumping embankments, or outlets choked with sediment and volunteer growth, which is most of what we get called out for here.
Size of the basin, how much slope has to be regraded, and whether we are placing riprap or matting versus reseeding bare ground all factor in. A blocked outfall or a channel that needs rebuilding adds time, as does site access for a riverfront lot or a basin tucked behind buildings at a retail center. We price it after the site walk, not before.
