Detention pond construction and maintenance, subsurface stormwater controls and pond water-quality management across Central Texas.
Pflugerville has a lot of detention, including sizable regional ponds behind neighborhoods and commercial sites, much of it installed during the growth of the early 2000s. Twenty years of clay sediment later, the bottoms are shallower, cattails have taken over, and the pond is doing less than its plan says it does. Grading here is gentle, so water leaves slowly and leaves its load behind when it goes.
Cattails and willow seedlings come out before they turn into a wetland nobody permitted. Accumulated sediment is removed and hauled off, the outlet structure and trash rack get cleaned and cleared, the rutted slopes clay basins always develop get rebuilt, and grass goes back on the bare areas. Mowing then runs on a cycle that keeps the growth from reestablishing. Inlet pipes and catch basins across the site get cleaned too.
Large associations and commercial owners in Pflugerville usually need a plan that spreads the big items across budget years. We will measure how much storage you have lost, show you what getting it back costs, and keep routine mowing and inspections going in the meantime. Nothing gets scheduled that we have not walked you through first. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site assessment.
We walk your Pflugerville property and assess the site.

We also provide ponds & stormwater in these nearby communities:
Yes. Corral Bros is a pond and stormwater contractor serving Central Texas, we build detention and retention ponds, maintain them, install and service subsurface stormwater control measures (SCMs), and manage pond water quality. Most of this work is for commercial properties, HOAs, developments and municipalities along the Austin–San Antonio corridor.
Detention pond maintenance keeps a basin working and inspection-ready: sediment and silt removal, mowing and vegetation control, clearing inlets, outlets and outfall structures, repairing erosion, and regrading as needed. We can also provide inspection documentation to support regulatory compliance.
That takes measurement rather than a guess. We shoot elevations across the basin floor and compare them to the design shown on the approved drainage plan, which gives you a real number for lost storage. Ponds over fifteen or twenty years old in clay areas frequently come back with more than owners expect.
Because cutting the tops does not remove the root mass, and the wet bottom that let them establish is still wet. Lasting removal means taking out the growth and the muck layer it is rooted in, and restoring drainage so the basin actually empties. Otherwise you are mowing the same stand every year.
That depends on the drainage easement, plat notes and any shared maintenance agreement recorded for the properties. Shared regional facilities often have a cost-sharing arrangement among the owners or a single entity with the obligation. Tell us how the responsibility is split and we will quote it that way.
Sometimes, but it is cheaper and cleaner when the basin is dry, so we prefer to schedule during a dry stretch and after the outlet is cleared so it drains. Where water cannot be removed, we use equipment suited to wet work and plan for dewatering the material before haul-off.
Yes. Each visit comes with a dated summary, photos and notes on anything that changed or needs attention. It is written to be read by a board or a reviewer, not just filed.
