Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for The Crossvine properties in Schertz.
The Crossvine in Schertz was built as a planned community in phases, and that history shows up on the ground. Module I groups its 501 single-family homes on short cul-de-sacs with drainage swales running behind many of the clusters, some of them more than 200 feet wide, feeding a greenbelt system that winds through the neighborhood. That is not an accident of landscaping, it is how the development was engineered to move water, and it changes how you plant, grade and fence a lot that backs up to one.
The blackland clay under all of Schertz swells when it rains and shrinks hard in a dry spell, and The Crossvine's lots, narrow by design at 2.2 to 3.5 units an acre in Module I and tighter still in the garden-home sections, don't leave much margin for error. Beds do better on drip than spray. Lawns need deep, infrequent watering rather than a daily sprinkle, and mowing height matters more here than most people think once the July heat sets in. Where older oak and cedar elm canopy exists, like the stand at Heritage Oaks Park on Module I's western edge, it is worth protecting and pruning carefully rather than cutting back hard.
Hiring Corral Bros for a Crossvine property starts with a free, no-obligation on-site visit, usually within 48 hours. We look at your lot line, where the nearest swale or detention area sits, and what the PDD's landscaping and fencing standards require before we give you a plan. From there we handle the planting, the mowing, the irrigation line or the tree work itself, licensed, insured, and built around how this ground actually behaves.
We work the whole Schertz stretch along I-35 and FM 78, and The Crossvine's cul-de-sac clusters and pocket parks are a normal part of that route. Whether you're in Module I's short cul-de-sacs or one of the garden-home sections, we can get a crew out without treating it as a special trip.
We schedule a free, no-obligation on-site visit, usually within 48 hours of your call. We walk the lot, check how close you sit to a drainage swale or detention pond, and look at what the PDD's fencing and landscaping standards call for before we ever quote a number. Call (737) 404-9343 to set it up.
Yes. The swales behind many Module I home clusters are part of the community's greenbelt system and some run over 200 feet wide, so they're built to keep water moving, not to double as a planting bed. We grade and edge around the swale line instead of into it, and we size any beds, fencing or hardscape so runoff still has a clear path through.
The clay under The Crossvine swells when it's wet and cracks hard when it dries, and a July heat stretch will expose any lawn that's been mowed too short or watered on the wrong schedule. Deep, infrequent watering and a mower height that protects the crown of the grass do more for these lawns than extra fertilizer, and we set up a maintenance routine around that instead of a generic weekly mow.
We handle tree trimming, deadwood removal and brush clearing, and yes, it matters. Near Heritage Oaks Park and the greenbelt corridors through Module I, the stands include heritage-sized oaks and cedar elms worth protecting, so we prune for structure and clearance rather than just cutting back what's in the way.
