Repair and stabilization of eroded pond slopes, embankments and channels using grading, soil stabilization, vegetation or riprap.
Taylor has old farmsteads and Old Town lots sitting right next to new subdivisions pushing out toward Mustang Creek and Robinson, and the detention ponds built to serve all that new rooftop and pavement are doing more work than the ones built twenty years ago ever had to. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design repairs eroded pond slopes, embankments and channels for the property managers, HOA boards and developers who end up responsible for those basins once the dirt work crews move on.
Blackland prairie clay does not forgive a badly graded slope. It cracks wide open in a dry August, then turns slick and starts sliding the first time Williamson County gets a hard rain off a frontal boundary. We see forebays silted in from construction runoff upstream, embankments growing volunteer hackberry and cedar that loosen the soil as roots push through, outlet structures choked with sediment so the pond drains slow for days after a storm, and bare side slopes that wash a little more with every event until there is a gully where there used to be turf.
We walk the pond with whoever is on the hook for it, whether that is a property manager, a board member or a GC closing out a site, and we look at the whole system, not just the spot someone pointed a camera at. Where there is an engineer of record or an approved plan for the site, we grade, stabilize and plant to match it. You get a straight answer on what is causing the erosion and what it takes to stop it from coming back.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Taylor property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and detention pond erosion repair that holds up to Williamson County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We schedule a free on-site visit, usually within 48 hours, and walk the pond with you or whoever manages the property day to day. We look at the slopes, the forebay, the outlet structure and the channel leading in and out, note where the clay has slumped or washed, and give you a clear scope before any work starts.
It depends on the age of the pond and what is happening upstream. A basin catching runoff from an active construction site or newly graded subdivision near Mustang Creek or Robinson will silt in and erode faster than one serving an established Old Town lot. Most commercial ponds in this area need some slope or channel work every few years, sooner if the outlet has been blocked.
We stage equipment and materials to keep drive aisles, parking rows and common walkways open wherever the site allows, and we coordinate timing with your office or board so residents and tenants know what to expect. Most detention ponds sit at the edge of a property, which keeps the work away from building entrances and day to day traffic.
This clay shrinks and cracks in dry weather and turns heavy and slick when it is wet, so a slope that looks stable in July can slide after a few inches of rain. We grade and compact with that movement in mind and pair it with the right stabilization, riprap or vegetation so the fix holds through both the dry stretch and the storm that follows it.
The size of the eroded area, how much regrading and soil stabilization it needs, whether the outfall or channel is also damaged, and whether riprap or erosion matting is called for all factor in. A silted forebay or a blocked outlet structure adds scope, and site access for equipment on a tighter Old Town lot can affect cost too.
