Cleaning and maintenance of pond inlets, outlets, pipes, grates and control structures so stormwater flows the way it was designed to.
If your pond or basin in Spicewood stops draining the way it's supposed to, the inlet and outlet structures are almost always where the problem starts, and as the property manager, board member, or owner on title, that structure is your responsibility whether or not anyone's looked at it lately. Corral Bros handles inlet and outlet structure maintenance for commercial and HOA properties across Barton Creek Lakeside, Spicewood Trails, Briarcliff, and the surrounding Hill Country acreage.
The ground here is granite and limestone, and it sheds water fast instead of absorbing it, which means runoff carries grit, gravel, and cedar debris straight into whatever catches it. We see slow drawdown after rain, a forebay silted in from the last big storm, grates buried under washed-in material, and volunteer trees taking hold on an embankment right next to the outlet. On lake and ranch properties spread across larger acreage, these problems can sit unnoticed for a season because nobody walks the back of the pond regularly.
Working with us starts with a site walk where we look at the inlets, outlets, pipes, and control structures and tell you what we find, plain terms, no upsell. From there we clear obstructions, clean pipes and grates, service the control structure, and check that flow is moving the way the system was designed to, whether that design came from the original site engineer or the developer's plans. We're licensed, insured, and local to the area, and estimates are free with no obligation attached.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Spicewood property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and inlet & outlet structure maintenance that holds up to Burnet County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the pond or basin with whoever manages the site, usually a property manager, board member, or community association contact, and look at every inlet, outlet, pipe, and grate before quoting anything. Estimates are free and no obligation, and we can usually get out to Barton Creek Lakeside, Spicewood Trails, Briarcliff, or anywhere in between within 48 hours of your call.
Most Spicewood properties need a check at least once or twice a year, but granite and limestone runoff tends to move fast after heavy rain and can silt a forebay or jam a grate in a single storm. If you notice slow drawdown after rain, standing water where there shouldn't be any, or a trash rack packed with debris, that's your trigger to call sooner.
No, we plan around whoever uses the property. For retail centers and apartment communities we schedule to avoid peak traffic and keep access open, and for HOA and POA ponds on ranch or lakeside acreage we usually have room to work without touching resident parking or common areas at all.
Granite and limestone terrain sheds water fast and carries grit, gravel, and cedar debris straight into inlets and forebays. We regularly find outlets choked with sediment, grates buried under washed-in material, and volunteer trees taking root on embankments near the structure, all of which slow drawdown and change how the pond was designed to function.
Access and condition drive most of the cost. A pond off a paved drive in Spicewood Trails is a different job than a remote outlet structure on acreage past Briarcliff with no real road in, and a structure that's been neglected for a few years takes longer to clear than one on a regular schedule. We price it after the site walk, not before.
