Smart sprinkler systems, drip irrigation, pump installs and drainage that protects your yard.
Universal City sits on thin clay over limestone bedrock, the same shelf that runs under Randolph AFB, and it makes irrigation here a different animal than a few miles south. Water either sheets off that hard subsurface or sits in a soggy pocket right above it, so the difference between a lawn that thrives and one that dies in patches often comes down to how the system was designed, not how much it runs.
In Forest Crest and Northview, where a lot of homes were built decades ago, we routinely find original sprinkler lines shallow-set over rock, cracked from years of ground movement and root pressure. Olympia Hills' newer construction has its own issue: compacted builder-grade soil that sheds water fast toward foundations and patios instead of letting it soak in. Both call for zoning that matches slope and soil depth, not a generic layout.
We are a family-run crew, and a lot of our Universal City customers are Randolph families who need a system that holds up while they are away on assignment. We design around your actual ground, set smart controllers to cut watering during rain, and fix the drainage that causes half the irrigation complaints we see.
We walk your Universal City property and assess the site.

Results made for Bexar County, plus optional upkeep.
We also provide irrigation in these nearby communities:
The fastest ways to cut your watering bill are a properly zoned sprinkler system, drip irrigation in beds, a smart controller with a rain sensor, and grouping plants by water need. Drip can use far less water than spray, and fixing leaks and overspray often pays for itself within a season.
Common signs of a sprinkler leak are a sudden jump in your water bill, soggy or eroding spots, unusually green patches, low pressure, or heads that weep when the system is off. Corral Bros runs a full system audit to find leaks, broken heads and dead zones, then quotes the repair.
Almost always it is the bedrock shelf. Thin clay over limestone means water cannot drain down, so it moves sideways until it finds a low spot. We see this a lot in Forest Crest and Northview. Corral Bros regrades problem zones and adds French drains where needed so water actually leaves the yard instead of pooling.
It depends on how much line or grading is involved, so we do not quote blind. Corral Bros offers a free, no-obligation on-site estimate, usually scheduled within 48 hours, where we walk your Universal City property, check the soil depth, and give you real numbers before any work starts.
For most beds in Olympia Hills and Northview, yes. Drip lines put water right at the root zone instead of on compacted surface soil that just runs off, which is common in newer builder lots. It also cuts water waste, which matters given how shallow the clay layer is here.
Yes. We install and service pump systems for wells and riverfront properties throughout Bexar County, including around Universal City. If your property already has a well, we will test its output and match the pump and irrigation zones to what it can actually deliver without straining it.
It helps a lot. Texas storms here tend to dump hard and fast, then nothing for weeks. A smart controller with a rain sensor skips cycles after a downpour so you are not overwatering ground that is already saturated above the bedrock, and it saves you money on the water bill.
We work with a good number of Randolph families in this exact situation. Corral Bros can set up a maintenance schedule, run seasonal audits, and handle repairs so your irrigation keeps running correctly and your landscape does not suffer while you are gone.
