Inspection, cleaning and maintenance of stormwater best management practices, from ponds and swales to filters and underground structures.
San Marcos sits on spring-fed water and thin upland soils, and that combination moves sediment fast and drains slow once it hits a pond or a basin. Stormwater BMP maintenance in San Marcos has to account for both: ground that will not hold water evenly and rainfall that comes in hard, short bursts off the Hill Country. Corral Bros handles the inspection, cleaning and upkeep that keeps these systems doing their job.
We see the same patterns across Blanco Gardens, Willow Creek and Kissing Tree. University-town rentals often have basins nobody has walked in years, with a silted forebay up front and a blocked outlet nobody noticed because the pond still looked wet. River properties bring their own erosion along the banks and volunteer trees taking hold on embankments. Active-adult communities tend to be newer and tidier, but filters and underground structures still load up with grit from the thin, fast-draining soils typical of this area.
Working with us on this scope means a property manager or board member gets a straight read on what the site actually needs, not a standard package. We walk the pond, swale, filter or underground structure, tell you what we find, and do the cleaning and upkeep work to the plan or alongside your property engineer where one is involved. For developers and general contractors closing out a site, that same walk-through is how we scope the handoff to the association.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your San Marcos property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and stormwater bmp maintenance that holds up to Hays County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the pond, swale or structure with you and look at the outlet, the forebay, the slopes and any inlets before we quote anything. Estimates are free and no-obligation, and we usually get out to the property within 48 hours of your call. On river-adjacent or Kissing Tree sites we also check for erosion along the banks before pricing the work.
Most of the ponds and filters we see here need a real cleaning once or twice a year, more often if the site sits near the river or has a lot of impervious cover draining into it. Thin upland soils move a surprising amount of sediment in a hard rain, so a basin that looked fine in spring can have a silted forebay by fall. We will tell you honestly what the site needs.
Yes. Apartment communities in Blanco Gardens, active-adult neighborhoods like Kissing Tree and retail centers all have different traffic patterns, and we schedule around them rather than the other way around. We coordinate with property managers or board contacts on access, staging and any lane or lot closures before crews show up.
Spring-fed water tables and thin upland soils mean slow drawdown in some basins and fast, heavy sediment loads in others after a storm. We commonly find blocked outlets, bare or eroding embankments, and volunteer trees taking root on dam slopes where nobody has been walking the site. It adds up fast on older rental and river properties that have not had regular upkeep.
Access, sediment volume and the type of structure drive most of the cost. A swale that just needs mowing and a quick outlet check is a different job than an underground separator with years of buildup or a pond forebay that has to be dug out. Site age and how long it has gone without maintenance also matter, which is why we price after we have actually seen the ground.
