Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Vintage Oaks properties in New Braunfels.
Vintage Oaks at the Vineyard is not a neighborhood where every yard looks the same, and that is by design. SouthStar Communities has been building it out section by section since the mid-2000s, and the acreage homesites, running from about a half acre up to several acres, mean a landscaping job on one lot can look nothing like the job two streets over. Newer sections near the entrance sit on smaller lots with houses closer together, while deeper into the community you get more ground and more separation. There is no golf course and no lake here, the draw is the acreage itself and the rolling Hill Country it sits on.
That much ground changes how water and planting decisions get made. One to three acres is too much to irrigate wall to wall, so the properties that hold up best keep a tight irrigated zone near the house and let the rest run in native Hill Country cover built for dry stretches. The terrain along this part of TX-46 is rolling and the soil is shallow over rock in plenty of spots, so trenching hits limestone fast and slope shows up as a design problem whether you want it to or not. Where live oaks are already established, they carry the value of the lot and need pruning timed around oak wilt risk, not whenever it is convenient.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Vintage Oaks property starts with a free on-site visit, usually booked within 48 hours, where we walk your specific section and parcel rather than guessing from the road. We check which section's property owners association standards apply to visible landscaping, and we confirm whether your lot runs on well or municipal water and septic or sewer, since both exist across this community. From there we scope the real work, whether that is irrigation and drainage, tree care, hardscapes, or regular lawn and property maintenance built around what your acreage and your trees actually need.
We come out for a free, no-obligation on-site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call. Because Vintage Oaks lots run from a half acre up to several acres and the space between homes changes section to section, we need to walk your specific parcel before pricing anything. We will also confirm your water or wastewater provider while we are there, since service is not the same across the whole community.
Usually not, and we would not recommend it on acreage this size. The pattern that works well on a one to three acre homesite is a defined irrigated zone close to the house, with the rest of the property kept in native Hill Country cover that does not need daily water. It costs less to install and a lot less to run through a Central Texas summer.
This stretch of TX-46 is rolling Hill Country, which means shallow soil sitting over rock in a lot of spots. Trenching for irrigation lines or drainage can hit rock fast, so we lean on surface drip and shallow routing instead of deep trenching where possible. Slope is also common enough that terracing, retaining walls and stone work are a normal part of the job, not an upcharge special case.
Summer heat and the thin soils here push water stress fast, so we set mow heights and watering schedules to match that rather than a one-size program. Deer pressure is real on the Edwards Plateau, which has the highest whitetail density in the state, so beds full of broadleaf ornamentals need protection or plant choices deer leave alone. We build that into the plan up front instead of replacing eaten plants twice a year.
If your lot has mature live oaks, those trees are doing a lot of the work for your property's value and shade, so pruning timing has to respect oak wilt risk in this region. Under a closed oak canopy, turf is a losing fight, we usually move clients toward mulch, shade beds or native groundcover there instead. We also handle land clearing and grading if you are opening up part of an acreage lot.
