The right trees, planted right, for shade and value that grows for decades.
Planting the right tree in the right spot pays off for decades in Spicewood, with shade against the Hill Country sun and added property value. Corral Bros plants trees across Spicewood Trails, Briarcliff, and the lake lots, choosing species suited to thin rocky soil, well-water watering, and the deer and dry summers that come with the territory.
Planting here means working around shallow limestone, so we dig and amend properly and pick natives that root in lean ground instead of struggling. We place trees for real shade where you want it, away from lines and foundations, and set them up to establish before summer heat hits. Corral Bros is family-built, licensed, and insured. Call (737) 404-9343 for a free on-site estimate, usually within 48 hours, and we will recommend trees that will actually thrive on your lot.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Spicewood property like our own — tidy crews, clear pricing, and tree planting that holds up to Burnet County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
The best shade trees for Central Texas include live oak, cedar elm, Texas red oak, bur oak, Mexican sycamore and Monterrey oak, all adapted to local soil and heat. We help you pick the right species for your space, then plant it correctly for decades of growth.
Fall through winter is the best time to plant trees in Central Texas, giving roots several months to establish before summer heat. Spring is the next-best window. Fall-planted trees need the least supplemental water to get going.
It depends on the tree's size and species and the ground prep your rocky lot needs. Corral Bros gives free on-site estimates so you get a real number for your Spicewood property, including any soil work around shallow rock. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule, usually within 48 hours.
Native, drought-tolerant species built for thin soil and heat do best, things that root in shallow ground and shrug off dry summers. We steer away from thirsty trees that struggle on a well. Corral Bros picks for your soil, light, and how much shade you want.
Yes. Where shallow limestone blocks a full-depth hole, we dig what we can, amend the soil, and choose trees that tolerate it. Planning around Spicewood's rock is why our plantings take hold. We will be honest if a particular spot just is not workable for a large tree.
Fall and late winter are ideal, giving roots time to establish before Spicewood's summer heat. Trees planted then handle their first dry season far better. We can plant other times with extra watering care, but the cooler months give a new tree the strongest start.
They need protection at first. Deer browse and rub young trees hard across Spicewood, so we can add guards or cages while they establish. We also favor species deer bother less. Getting a tree past its vulnerable early years is what makes it a lasting part of your landscape.
