Patios, decks, pergolas, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens that turn a backyard into a retreat.

New Braunfels living happens outside, and your yard should be able to keep up with it. Between float trips down the Guadalupe and Comal, evenings on the porch in Gruene, and weekend barbecues out at the Hill Country place, this town uses its outdoor space harder than most. Corral Bros builds patios, decks, pergolas and outdoor kitchens designed to take that kind of daily use and hold up to Texas summers for the long haul.
The ground here changes fast depending on which side of town you're on. Riverfront lots near Gruene often sit on sandy, shifting soil that needs proper base prep and drainage so a patio does not settle or heave after the next flood event. Head out toward Vintage Oaks or River Chase and you hit rocky Hill Country edge soil, where footings and retaining walls have to be cut and set with the right equipment instead of just poured on a whim. We grade for both conditions and build accordingly, whether that is a raised deck to keep a riverfront home above flood-prone ground or a dry-stacked seating wall that works with the limestone instead of against it.
Every project starts with a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get a real plan and a real look at your ground before any work begins. We are locally owned, licensed and insured, and we handle both residential yards and commercial properties across Comal County.

Paver and stone patio cost depends on the square footage, the material you choose, site prep and any walls or features. A simple patio is far more affordable than a full outdoor living space with a kitchen and fire feature. Corral Bros designs to your budget and gives a clear, itemized quote.
Concrete pavers, flagstone and travertine all hold up well to Central Texas heat and storms when installed on a properly compacted base. Pavers are popular because individual units can be lifted and reset if needed, and they resist cracking better than a single poured slab over expansive clay.
Cost depends on square footage, material choice and how much site prep the soil requires, so we do not quote a number sight unseen. Corral Bros gives every New Braunfels homeowner a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours, where we walk the lot and price the actual job in front of you.
It changes how we build more than whether we can build. Hill Country edge soil around Vintage Oaks often means excavating through limestone shelf, so we plan for proper base depth and drainage before laying pavers or setting a retaining wall. It takes more upfront work but it is what keeps the structure stable for decades.
Yes, and we build for it specifically. Sandy riverfront soil near Gruene needs solid footing work and grading that accounts for occasional high water, so we often recommend raised decking or elevated patio sections instead of a slab poured flush with the ground. We will walk the site and tell you honestly what fits your lot.
We do, using materials and layouts built for real Hill Country heat, not showroom conditions. That means proper ventilation around grills and appliances, stone and masonry that will not crack under constant sun, and shade structures like pergolas placed to actually get used in July. Corral Bros designs the whole space to work together, not just look good in photos.
Most patio and deck projects in New Braunfels run a few days to a couple of weeks depending on size, material and site conditions like grading or rock removal. After your free on-site estimate we will give you a realistic timeline for your specific project, whether it is a walkway in Gruene or a full outdoor kitchen on Hill Country acreage.
Yes, retaining and seating walls are some of the most common builds we do on sloped acreage around New Braunfels. We cut into the limestone base properly and grade for drainage so the wall holds the slope instead of shifting after heavy rain.
