Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Forest Creek properties in Round Rock.
Forest Creek is one of the bigger platted subdivisions we work in along I-35, stitched together from 51 separate plats filed between 1993 and 2011 and threaded through by the public Forest Creek Golf Club. Most of the roughly 1,800 residential lots sit on a quarter acre or smaller, with median living area just under 3,000 square feet, so the work here is usually about making a tract lot perform well rather than managing acreage.
The ground is the real variable. Underneath the sections are three soil types, Austin silty clay, an Austin-Whitewright complex, and Eddy very gravelly clay loam, and all three are classed as slow-draining, high-runoff soils. Depth to bedrock swings from close to 30 inches down to as little as 6 inches depending on where your lot falls, which changes how deep you can plant and how fast your beds dry out or flood. Through a Central Texas summer that means watering slow and deep rather than fast and often, mulching heavier than you'd think to protect shallow roots, and planning drainage so runoff has somewhere to go instead of pooling against a foundation or a fence line.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Forest Creek property starts with a free, no-obligation on-site visit, usually scheduled within 48 hours, where we look at your soil, your slope and your current irrigation setup before we talk numbers. From there we handle whatever the lot needs, lawn and bed maintenance, irrigation and drainage repair, tree work, or a full landscape redesign, as a locally owned, licensed and insured crew that works both residential and commercial properties along this corridor.
We come out to walk the lot, look at your beds, irrigation and any slope or drainage issues, and give you a free on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours. Because Forest Creek lots range from under 7,000 to over 18,000 square feet, we price off what's actually there rather than a flat rate. Call (737) 404-9343 and we'll get you on the schedule.
It depends on which soil pocket you're in. Parts of the neighborhood sit on Austin silty clay with close to 30 inches of soil before bedrock, but the Austin-Whitewright and Eddy areas can have bedrock as shallow as 6 to 16 inches down. On those lots, planting a tree or a large shrub often means auger or jackhammer work and building beds up instead of digging deep.
Deep, infrequent watering on your assigned day beats a daily light sprinkle, since the clay soils under Forest Creek drain slowly and runoff is more of an issue than soak-in. We mow St. Augustine and buffalo at 2 to 3 inches and bermuda or zoysia at 1.5 to 2 inches, matching the city's own guidance, and we recommend 3 to 6 inches of mulch on beds to hold moisture through July and August.
Yes, we do tree trimming, removal and new planting, plus brush and land clearing. Given the shallow bedrock in parts of the neighborhood, we size and place new trees for shallow root systems rather than assuming deep soil everywhere, and we clear overgrown brush along fence lines and drainage areas as needed.
Yes. Round Rock assigns your watering day by the last digit of your address, allows watering before 10 a.m. or after 7 p.m., and includes drip and soaker hoses under those same rules, with hand watering allowed anytime. If you're putting in new sod or new beds, we can help you plan around the city's New Landscape Variance so the install gets the water it needs.
Forest Creek sits inside Round Rock city limits in Williamson County, right along our I-35 corridor service area, so it's a neighborhood we work in regularly, not a stretch assignment. We handle everything from routine mowing and bed maintenance to irrigation repair, drainage work and hardscape projects on these lots.
