Grading and leveling in Schertz means managing the blackland clay that dominates Guadalupe County. This soil swells when it rains and shrinks in the heat, throwing off drainage and creating the uneven ground that plagues so many lots along the I-35 and FM 78 corridor. Reshaping and leveling before you install sod, build a patio, or start construction saves you headaches and money down the road.

Schertz grows fast, and most new homes sit in master-planned communities like The Crossvine, Ashley Park, and Forest Ridge where proper grading matters from day one. The slope and drainage patterns need to move water away from your foundation and hardscape, not toward it. Corral Bros handles site grading, pad grading for new construction, fill and leveling, and slope finishing that accounts for our local clay behavior.

We're a family-owned, licensed and insured crew that works residential and commercial sites across the I-35 corridor. Free on-site estimates usually happen within 48 hours, so you can see exactly what your ground needs before any work starts. Call us at (737) 404-9343 to get yours scheduled.

FAQ

Grading & Leveling in Schertz — FAQ

Why is proper grading important?

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.

Can you level my yard for new sod or a patio?

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.

How does Schertz blackland clay affect grading work?

Blackland clay expands when wet and shrinks when dry, shifting your soil and creating drainage problems. We grade with this seasonal movement in mind, building slope and compaction that stay stable through wet springs and dry summers. It's why standard grading doesn't always work here.

Do I need grading before laying sod?

Yes. Uneven ground tears sod as it settles, and poor drainage kills grass fast. We level and shape your soil, test drainage flow, and prep the seedbed so sod roots establish properly. The work costs less than replacing failed sod three months later.

What does a grading estimate include?

We visit your site, assess slope, drainage, and soil condition, measure what needs to move, and walk you through the work. There's no charge and no obligation. We'll tell you what we find and what it costs to fix it. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule.

Can you grade for a new patio or hardscape?

Absolutely. We excavate and level the pad, compact the soil, and shape drainage so water sheds away from the base. Proper pad grading prevents settling and cracking later. It's part of residential and commercial work we do across Schertz and the Hill Country.

How long does grading take?

Time depends on lot size, soil type, and how much fill or cut is needed. Small residential projects often finish in a day or two. We'll give you a clear timeline during your estimate so you know when to expect the crew and when you can start your next phase.

Do you work in The Crossvine, Ashley Park, and Forest Ridge?

Yes. We serve all Schertz neighborhoods and the entire I-35 corridor from San Antonio through Austin. We know Guadalupe County clay, local drainage challenges, and the way fast-growing master-planned communities are built. We're locals working locally.
