Custom landscape design, sod, planting and decorative stone built for Central Texas soil and sun.
Landscaping in Pflugerville has to start with the ground itself: heavy black clay that swells after a spring rain and cracks wide open by August. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design has worked that clay in Falcon Pointe, Blackhawk and Avalon long enough to know it is not a soil you fight, it is one you plan around. Every design we draw, from a simple bed refresh to a full front-yard rebuild, starts with what that clay is going to do to it in year two, not just how it looks on install day.
That means grading matters here more than in sandier parts of the state. We shape beds and lawns so water sheds away from foundations instead of pooling against that dense clay, and we amend soil before sod or plants ever go in the ground. In the newer subdivisions north of Austin, where builders often leave thin topsoil over compacted fill, that prep step is the difference between a lawn that holds up through July and one that thins out by September. We also lean on native and drought-tolerant plants suited to Travis County heat, so beds stay full without demanding water the clay cannot drain anyway.
Corral Bros is locally owned, licensed and insured, and we work both the dense family subdivisions and the commercial parks scattered around Pflugerville. Estimates are free, on-site and usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get a real look at your yard and a straight answer before committing to anything.

We also provide landscaping in these nearby communities:
Fall (October to November) and early spring (March to April) are the best times to landscape in Central Texas. Cooler temperatures let new sod, trees and plants establish roots before summer heat. We install year-round, but fall planting gives the strongest results and the lowest water needs.
Central Texas sits in USDA hardiness zones 8b to 9a, so drought-tolerant natives perform best: Texas sage, salvia, lantana, agave, yaupon holly, red yucca and ornamental grasses. Pairing these with native shade trees like live oak and cedar elm gives a landscape that thrives on less water.
That is the black clay under most Falcon Pointe and Blackhawk yards. It swells when wet and shrinks hard in a Texas drought, opening cracks and stressing roots. Corral Bros grades and amends the soil before planting so beds and sod have a stable base instead of fighting that clay movement every year.
It depends on square footage, grading needs and whether you want sod, beds or a full redesign, so we will not guess a number here. Corral Bros gives free, no-obligation on-site estimates in Pflugerville, usually scheduled within 48 hours, with a written plan before any work starts.
Yes, if the base is prepped right. We till and level the clay, work in compost, and grade for drainage before laying sod, since clay that is not loosened first will suffocate roots and crack again by August. Corral Bros builds that prep into every lawn renovation across Pflugerville.
Native and adapted plants like Texas sage, yaupon holly, blackfoot daisy and ornamental grasses handle our clay swings and summer heat with far less water than imported varieties. We design beds around what already thrives in this part of Travis County, so your landscape looks good without constant babysitting.
We do. Pflugerville has a lot of commercial parks alongside its family subdivisions, and Corral Bros designs and installs landscaping for both. That means the same soil prep, drought-tolerant plant selection and clean bed work, scaled to office parks, retail frontages or HOA common areas.
Most front-yard projects in Pflugerville run from a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on grading, bed size and whether sod or hardscape is involved. We walk you through the timeline during your free estimate so you know what to expect before we schedule the crew.
