Custom landscape design, sod, planting and decorative stone built for Central Texas soil and sun.
Landscaping in Seguin means working with some of the best dirt in the Hill Country corridor. The rich bottomland along the Guadalupe River gives lawns and planting beds a real advantage over the rocky, thin-soil lots you find closer to Austin or San Antonio, and Corral Bros Landscaping and Design has built full landscapes on that ground from Starcke Park to the acreage properties out past Mill Creek.
That said, good soil brings its own decisions. Many Seguin lots carry mature pecan trees that shade half the yard and send roots wide, so sod selection and bed placement have to account for filtered light and root competition rather than full sun. In older sections of town and along Navarro, we also run into established grading and drainage patterns that need respecting, not fighting, when we shape new beds or lay fresh turf.
Our process starts with a free, no-obligation on-site walk of your property, usually scheduled within 48 hours of your call. We look at your soil, your sun and shade lines, and how you actually use the yard, then bring you a design, whether that's a full front-yard makeover, a native plant bed refresh, or a lawn renovation. We're locally owned, licensed and insured, and we handle residential and commercial properties across Seguin and the surrounding Guadalupe County ground.
We walk your Seguin property and assess the site.

We also provide landscaping in these nearby communities:
Fall (October to November) and early spring (March to April) are the best times to landscape in Central Texas. Cooler temperatures let new sod, trees and plants establish roots before summer heat. We install year-round, but fall planting gives the strongest results and the lowest water needs.
Central Texas sits in USDA hardiness zones 8b to 9a, so drought-tolerant natives perform best: Texas sage, salvia, lantana, agave, yaupon holly, red yucca and ornamental grasses. Pairing these with native shade trees like live oak and cedar elm gives a landscape that thrives on less water.
Seguin's biggest advantage is the Guadalupe River bottomland soil, which is richer and holds moisture better than the caliche and limestone you find toward Austin. That means your beds and lawn have a head start. Corral Bros still grades and preps every site properly, but we're not fighting the ground the way we do elsewhere.
Every property is different, especially with pecan tree root systems and older lot layouts in neighborhoods like Mill Creek, so we do not quote sight unseen. Corral Bros offers a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours, and you'll get a clear written plan before any work starts.
Mature pecans throw heavy shade and a wide root zone, which rules out full-sun lawns and shallow-tilling in some spots. We design around the canopy instead of against it, using shade-tolerant natives and adjusting grading so sod and beds actually thrive under Seguin's older tree cover.
Yes, if it's installed right. We match sod variety to sun exposure and irrigation reality, prep the grade so water doesn't pool or run off toward the river bottomland, and get root systems established before peak heat. Corral Bros has installed and renovated lawns across Starcke Park and Navarro with this same approach.
Both, regularly. Seguin has a mix of newer acreage builds and historic in-town lots with mature landscaping already in place. Corral Bros designs fresh installs from bare dirt and also renovates existing beds and lawns on older properties, working around established trees, fencing and drainage patterns already on site.
We lean on natives suited to Guadalupe County's clay-loam river soil and hot, humid summers, things like Gulf Coast muhly, Turk's cap, and yaupon holly, mixed with tougher perennials for color. Corral Bros builds beds that need less supplemental watering once established, which matters through a typical Texas August.
