Reshape and level ground for drainage, sod, patios or new construction.
San Marcos sits on spring-fed riverland and thin upland soils that shift and settle in ways that can leave yards uneven, drainage pooling in wrong places, and patios cracking before they're done. Grading and leveling reshape your property so water runs where it should-away from foundations, toward natural valleys, or into proper drainage lines. Corral Bros handles this work across San Marcos neighborhoods from Blanco Gardens to Kissing Tree, working with your site's actual contours instead of fighting them.
The soil here doesn't stay put the way heavier clay soils do in other parts of the Hill Country. That means your grading job needs someone who understands local conditions and builds drainage solutions that hold through Texas rain and summer heat. We start with a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours of your call, so we can see exactly what your lot is doing and what it needs.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and grading & leveling that holds up to Hays County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
Proper grading shapes the ground so water flows away from your home and structures instead of pooling, which prevents standing water, erosion and foundation problems. In Central Texas clay, correct grading is the foundation of a healthy landscape and a protected home.
Yes. We grade and level ground to prep for sod, patios, driveways and construction, shaping it for proper drainage and a smooth, stable surface. Good grading up front is what makes the finished landscape or hardscape last.
San Marcos soils are thin and spring-fed, which means natural drainage isn't always obvious and settle patterns are unpredictable. Grading gives you control. We reshape ground for new sod, to stop standing water around foundations, to prep for patios or decks, or to make sure a rental property doesn't turn into a liability after the next heavy rain. In river properties especially, proper slope saves thousands down the road.
We visit your site, see what's actually happening with water flow, check your soil composition and slope, and discuss your goals. Our estimate accounts for San Marcos conditions-thin upland soils, spring-fed areas, neighborhood terrain. We explain what we'll do and why, answer questions, and you have no obligation. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule.
Most residential jobs take one to three days depending on site size and complexity. We work with your schedule. River properties and active-adult communities sometimes need more careful drainage planning, which adds a day or two. Weather matters too-we avoid working wet soil that just gets compacted again.
Yes. We grade and level around established trees and plantings, which is especially important in Willow Creek and similar neighborhoods. The work is precise enough to prep a single sod area or shape an entire lot. We finish erosion-aware so your new grade stays stable through rain and settling.
Many do, especially older ones where soil has settled unevenly or drainage was never right. Good grading protects your investment and reduces maintenance complaints. We work residential and commercial, and we're licensed and insured for any property size or use.
Drainage shaping is core to what we do. We look at your lot's fall line, the season's water patterns, and whether you need a slope toward the street, a valley line, or a defined drainage path. San Marcos spring-fed conditions actually work in your favor when grading is done right.
