Engineered retaining and seating walls that tame slopes and stop erosion.
Retaining walls do essential work in Spicewood, where slopes drop toward Lake Travis and erosion is a constant on steep, rocky ground. Corral Bros builds engineered retaining walls across Spicewood Trails, Briarcliff, and the lake lots, taming grades to create level, usable space and holding soil that would otherwise wash downhill in a heavy Hill Country rain.
A wall here has to be built for the load and the water, so we engineer for the slope, anchor into the limestone and granite, and design proper drainage behind the wall so pressure does not build and push it out. Done right, a retaining wall turns a steep, wasted slope into a terraced yard, patio pad, or planting area. Corral Bros is family-built, licensed, and insured.

We're a local, family-built company that treats your Spicewood property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and retaining walls that holds up to Burnet County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
You need a retaining wall when a slope is eroding, you want to level a yard for usable space, or you need to manage water and grade changes around a patio or foundation. Retaining walls are common on the rocky, hilly lots throughout Central Texas.
As a general rule, retaining walls taller than about 4 feet, or walls holding back heavy loads, require engineering and often a permit in Central Texas. We build to code, with proper base and drainage, and bring in engineering when a project calls for it.
It depends on the wall's height and length, the materials, and the slope it has to hold. Taller walls on steep Spicewood grades need more engineering. Corral Bros gives free on-site estimates so you get a real number for your property. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule.
If your Spicewood slope is eroding, sliding, or wasting usable space, likely yes. Walls hold soil in place, stop erosion toward the lake, and carve flat terraces out of a grade. We will look at your slope and tell you honestly whether a wall solves your problem or whether grading alone will do.
Drainage and proper engineering. Water building up behind a wall is what pushes most of them over, so we design drainage to relieve that pressure and anchor into Spicewood's rock for a solid base. A wall built for the actual load and water on your slope holds for the long haul.
Yes. That is often the biggest reason to build one. A retaining wall can terrace a steep Spicewood slope into level ground for a patio, lawn, or beds, turning a hillside you could not use into real outdoor space. We design the wall and the space it creates together.
Yes. We build with materials, including natural stone, that fit Spicewood's limestone-and-cedar setting, so the wall looks like part of the landscape rather than a raw concrete barrier. We will show you options that suit your property and hold the slope at the same time.
