Pond and stormwater water-quality management that keeps water clean, clear and compliant.
Walk the forebay on most Falcon Pointe or Avalon detention ponds in late summer and you will find a crust of cracked black clay where water used to stand, a sign the basin is not draining the way the plan says it should. Water quality management in Pflugerville starts with that kind of read on the ground: what is holding water too long, what is letting sediment through, and what has grown up where it should not be.
This part of Travis County gives a basin a hard time. The black clay shrinks and splits in drought, then seals up tight and sheds water fast once the rain finally comes, so forebays in these newer subdivisions and commercial parks fill with silt in big pulses rather than a steady trickle. We see outlet structures half buried in that silt, bare clay slopes that never got a stand of grass after the builder left, and volunteer hackberry and chinaberry trees working their roots into embankments around Blackhawk and the corridors near it. A slow drawdown after a storm usually means one of these is the cause, not a mystery.
For a property manager or HOA board, working with Corral Bros on this scope means someone looks at the actual basin, not a file photo from the original design. We tell you what we found, what it will take to get the system back to doing its job, and we do that work, from sediment removal to algae and vegetation control to keeping the outfall clear, so the pond functions and the paperwork matches reality.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Pflugerville property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and water quality management that holds up to Travis County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Water-quality management keeps ponds and stormwater features clean and compliant, removing sediment and pollutants, controlling algae and nuisance vegetation, maintaining filtration and outfall structures, and supporting any required water-quality monitoring. It protects both the system and the downstream waterways it drains to.
Yes. We manage the sediment, nutrients and vegetation that turn a pond green and murky, keeping the water clearer and the basin functioning. For commercial and HOA ponds we can set this up on a recurring schedule so it stays clean year-round.
We walk the basin with you or your maintenance contact, look at the forebay, outlet structure, slopes and water line, and note what is causing any problem you have flagged, like slow drawdown or standing algae. Estimates are free and no-obligation, and we usually get out to a Pflugerville property within 48 hours of your call.
It depends on the basin's age, its drainage area and how much bare soil feeds into it, but many Falcon Pointe and Avalon area ponds need sediment and vegetation attention at least once or twice a year because of how fast the clay soil here erodes after a dry spell breaks. Outfall and filtration checks often need to happen more often than the bigger sediment removal jobs.
We schedule around the property's traffic patterns, coordinate access with the HOA or property manager ahead of time, and keep equipment staged away from parking and walking paths wherever the site allows it. Most basin work sits at the edge of a subdivision or commercial park, so it rarely touches units, leasing traffic or retail customers directly.
The clay cracks hard in drought and then sheds water fast once rain returns, so sediment moves into forebays in heavy pulses instead of gradually, and bare slopes that never established grass erode quickly in that pattern. That is why we look as closely at the slopes and inlets as we do the water itself when we walk a Pflugerville site.
The main drivers are how much sediment has built up, how overgrown the slopes and shoreline are, whether an outlet or filtration structure needs more than routine clearing, and how much equipment access the site allows. A basin with a buried outlet and a stand of volunteer trees on the embankment costs more to put right than one that just needs routine sediment and algae control.
