Water-wise landscapes that look great through Texas drought and watering limits.
In Schertz, xeriscaping is the smartest answer to both the blackland clay that heaves with every wet and dry cycle and the water limits that kick in during drought. A well-designed water-wise landscape handles our Texas weather without fighting the soil underneath, and it cuts your water bill while you're at it.
Those fast-growing neighborhoods along FM 78 and the I-35 corridor are built for people who want low fuss and good looks. When you're starting from bare clay or retrofitting a thirsty turf lawn, xeriscaping lets you pick native and drought-adapted plants that actually thrive here, pair them with rock and drip irrigation, and step back. Your yard does the work.

Xeriscaping is water-wise landscaping built around drought-tolerant plants, efficient drip irrigation and reduced turf. It can dramatically cut outdoor water use, which is often the largest part of a Central Texas water bill, while staying green and attractive through drought and watering restrictions.
No. A well-designed xeriscape is lush and colorful, using Texas natives and adapted perennials like salvia, lantana, esperanza and ornamental grasses alongside rock and gravel. The goal is beauty with low water, not a bare gravel lot.
Blackland clay shrinks and cracks in drought, then swells when wet. Xeriscaping in Schertz sidesteps that stress by reducing turf (which demands consistent water) and using native and adapted plants with deep, flexible root systems. Corral Bros designs planting beds, mulch layers, and gravel surfaces that let water drain through the clay without sitting on it, cutting the heave-and-shrink cycle.
Yes. Xeriscaping uses tough Texas natives like esperanza, rosemary, salvia, and ornamental grasses that stay attractive even in dry years. The rock and gravel surfaces, mulch, and design give your yard structure and color without watering. We design for looks first-water savings follow. Corral Bros won't plant anything in Schertz that depends on constant spraying.
A free, no-obligation estimate from Corral Bros will spell out the cost for your specific Schertz lot. Xeriscaping typically costs more upfront than sod, but you recoup it fast through lower water bills, less mowing, and less fertilizer. Over five years, most Schertz homeowners save money and time.
No. We design and build xeriscapes that fit your timeline and budget. You can phase it: replace tired turf with drought-tolerant planting and rock in high-traffic or problem spots first, let us add drip irrigation, and transition the rest later. Corral Bros adapts the work to what makes sense for your Ashley Park or Forest Ridge yard.
Absolutely. Drip irrigation is actually ideal for Schertz clay because it delivers water slowly and steadily, giving the soil time to absorb instead of flooding and pooling. Corral Bros integrates drip lines with mulched beds and gravel so water soaks in where it counts, and you waste nothing to runoff or evaporation.
