Your local, full-service landscaping company for West Lake Hills homes and businesses — design, build and maintenance from a crew that knows Travis County.
West Lake Hills sits on steep canyon lots carved into Austin limestone, and that single fact shapes almost every landscaping decision a homeowner here makes. Corral Bros Landscaping and Design works these Rollingwood, Davenport Ranch, and Eanes properties often, handling everything from design and tree service to irrigation, drainage, hardscapes, and routine property maintenance for the wooded estates that define this part of Travis County.
Thin caliche soil over limestone bedrock does not drain the way people expect, and on a hillside lot that means water finds the path of least resistance fast, usually straight toward a foundation or a retaining wall. We grade and plan drainage with that bedrock in mind, cut French drains and channel work into the rock where needed, and choose plants that can handle both the shallow soil and the heat reflecting off exposed limestone. Heritage oaks are common on these lots too, so tree work here means real care around root zones and canopy, not just cutting.
Corral Bros is locally owned and family-built, licensed and insured, and we work both residential estates and commercial properties around West Lake Hills. Estimates are free, on-site, and no-obligation, and we typically get out to a property within 48 hours of a call.

Specialty Services in West Lake HillsIt depends heavily on lot slope, tree cover, and how much drainage or grading a canyon lot needs before any planting happens. Corral Bros gives free, no-obligation on-site estimates, usually within 48 hours, so you get a real number based on your specific terrain rather than a rough guess over the phone.
Limestone bedrock sits close to the surface across much of West Lake Hills, so water does not soak in the way it would in deeper soil. It runs fast toward low points, often right at a foundation or retaining wall. Corral Bros designs drainage and grading around that bedrock reality, which is different from flatland yards in San Antonio or Austin proper.
Yes, and on Eanes and Davenport Ranch lots we plan around them rather than through them. Heritage oaks have shallow, wide root systems that limestone terrain concentrates near the surface, so grading, trenching, and planting all get laid out to protect root zones. Corral Bros handles the tree service and design together so nothing works against the other.
We do both, often for the same property. Corral Bros crews handle routine mowing, bed maintenance, and irrigation upkeep, and we also design and build patios, retaining walls, and outdoor living spaces suited to a sloped, wooded lot. One call covers ongoing care and larger builds.
We work in these neighborhoods regularly and understand that West Lake Hills properties tend to favor a natural, wooded aesthetic that fits the limestone canyon setting rather than a manicured suburban look. Corral Bros designs with that character in mind, using materials and plant choices that read as native to the Hill Country.
That is common on steep West Lake Hills lots, and Corral Bros handles grading, land clearing, and drainage correction as part of the same project rather than sending you to a separate contractor. We assess the slope and bedrock during the on-site estimate so the plan accounts for it from day one.
