Landscaping, lawn maintenance, irrigation and tree work for Briarcliff properties in Spicewood.
Briarcliff sits on Lake Travis off Farm Road 2322, a village that started in the 1960s as a resort community of summer homes and country clubs and is still filling in its platted lots today. That history shows up on the ground: a mix of long-settled lake lots, newer builds, and vacant parcels still waiting on a house, all tied to Village-owned roads and the Village's own water system rather than a city utility. Working here means reading each lot on its own terms, lakefront or interior, built-out or still raw.
The granite and limestone underneath drains fast, which is exactly why the Village caps outdoor watering at two days a week. That rule shapes everything we design: drip lines on beds instead of overhead spray, deep and infrequent cycles instead of daily sips, and plant choices that can go several days between drinks and still look like something. Oaks need their own calendar too, since the Village only allows trimming part of the year and wants every cut sealed right away. Near the water, whether that's Lake Travis itself or one of the interior lochs, the ground moves with the water level, so bank plantings and drainage need to hold through both high lake years and long droughts.
Hiring Corral Bros here starts with a free on-site look at your lot, usually set up within 48 hours, where we check your address parity against the current watering schedule, note how close you sit to the lake or a loch, and price the work from there. We're licensed and insured, we handle residential and commercial property, and the work itself covers design and planting, irrigation and drainage, tree service, mowing and maintenance, hardscapes, and clearing or grading on those undeveloped lots. One call gets the estimate on the calendar.
We come out, walk the lot with you, and give you a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours of your call. In Briarcliff that means looking at your address parity for the watering schedule, checking whether you back up to the lake or one of the interior lochs, and noting any undeveloped ground nearby before we price anything. No obligation to book after we quote it.
The Village runs its own water system here and currently limits every customer to two watering days a week under its Stage One schedule, odd addresses Wednesday and Saturday, even addresses Thursday and Sunday. We design and run irrigation to fit that limit rather than fight it, using drip on beds and deep, infrequent cycles so plants actually root deep enough to handle it. We check the current stage before scheduling any irrigation work, since the Village's drought plan can tighten it further.
Yes, but it has to be built for two soak days a week instead of daily sprinkling. We set controllers to run long, infrequent cycles split by your address parity, choose turf and bed plants that tolerate that rhythm, and watch the shallow granite and limestone ground, which drains fast and needs mulch to hold what it gets. Expect more watch-and-adjust in August than in May.
We do, and we work inside the Village's oak trimming window, which currently runs July 1 through February 1, sealing every cut immediately as the notice requires. Outside that window we only touch oaks for storm damage. Since BPOA brush pickup only runs twice a year and isn't guaranteed, we haul off everything we cut so you're not stuck waiting on the next scheduled pickup.
We're a Central Texas crew running the I-35 corridor and Hill Country from San Antonio to Marble Falls, and Spicewood and Briarcliff fall inside that territory. We handle both lakefront lots near Cat Hollow and interior lots around the lochs and park, residential and commercial. Call (737) 404-9343 and we'll get an estimate on the books.
