Repair and stabilization of eroded pond slopes, embankments and channels using grading, soil stabilization, vegetation or riprap.
If your detention pond has a slumping bank, a silted-in forebay, or water that takes days longer to drain than it used to, that liability sits with whoever manages the property, not the engineer who designed it a decade ago. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design handles detention pond erosion repair for property managers, HOA boards, and developers across Seguin, from Starcke Park to Mill Creek to Navarro.
Guadalupe River bottomland holds water and silt differently than upland soil, and it shows in these basins. We find forebays choked with sediment, outlet pipes partly blocked by debris carried in off pecan-shaded lots, and slopes that were seeded once at construction and never again. Older ponds tend to grow volunteer saplings right on the embankment, and those roots loosen soil faster than most boards realize until a slope starts sliding after a hard spring rain.
Working with us on this scope starts with a free, no-obligation site walk, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We tell you what we find in plain terms: which slopes need regrading, where riprap or matting makes sense, and whether the channel or outfall needs clearing. We are licensed and insured, locally owned, and we do the repair to your property engineer's plan where one exists, not around it.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Seguin property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and detention pond erosion repair that holds up to Guadalupe County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
A Corral Bros estimator walks the pond with you, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We look at the slopes, the outlet structure, the forebay, and any channel leading in or out, then note where regrading, stabilization, or riprap is actually needed versus areas that just need seeding. The site visit and estimate are free and come with no obligation.
It depends on the age of the development and how the slopes were originally stabilized. Older ponds near Mill Creek and Starcke Park with bare or under-seeded banks often need attention every few years, especially after a heavy spring runoff. A pond with solid vegetation and a clean outlet can go much longer between repairs, which is why regular walks help catch problems early.
We stage equipment and materials away from drive aisles and occupied parking whenever the pond layout allows it, and we coordinate timing with your management office or HOA contact. Most detention ponds sit at the edge of a property away from building entrances, so the work rarely interferes with daily traffic once we know your schedule constraints.
Guadalupe River bottomland holds a lot of clay and silt, so a pond here can look stable on top while the slope underneath is sliding or the forebay is filling in faster than expected. Pecan-shaded lots also tend to grow volunteer saplings on embankments, and those roots work against the slope over time. We account for both when we regrade and stabilize.
Price moves with how much slope and channel length needs regrading, whether the outlet or channel is blocked and needs clearing, and whether the fix calls for riprap and matting versus seeding alone. Access for equipment, the size of the pond, and how established any volunteer trees are on the embankment also factor in. We lay all of that out during the free site walk.
