Patios, decks, pergolas, retaining walls and outdoor kitchens that turn a backyard into a retreat.
Outdoor living in Wimberley means building for the ground you actually have, not the ground you wish you had. Between Woodcreek's wooded ridgelines and the creekside lots near Cypress Creek and Blue Hole, most yards here sit on a thin layer of topsoil over cedar-flecked limestone. That shelf holds up a patio or wall beautifully once it is prepped right, but it punishes shortcuts. We have been cutting into this same rock for years, and we build every hardscape to work with it instead of against it.
That means proper base excavation even when it takes longer than expected, drainage planning that accounts for how fast Hill Country rain moves off a hillside, and retaining walls sized for real soil pressure, not just looks. A shaded deck under live oak and cedar canopy needs different footing and airflow than an open paver patio catching full sun near the water. We design each project around your specific lot, whether that is a quiet wooded retreat back in the trees or a homestead close enough to Cypress Creek to hear it.

We also provide outdoor living in these nearby communities:
Paver and stone patio cost depends on the square footage, the material you choose, site prep and any walls or features. A simple patio is far more affordable than a full outdoor living space with a kitchen and fire feature. Corral Bros designs to your budget and gives a clear, itemized quote.
Concrete pavers, flagstone and travertine all hold up well to Central Texas heat and storms when installed on a properly compacted base. Pavers are popular because individual units can be lifted and reset if needed, and they resist cracking better than a single poured slab over expansive clay.
Yes, and it is most of what we do out here. We cut into the limestone shelf, set a proper base, and grade for drainage so runoff moves away from the house instead of pooling on your patio. Steep Woodcreek lots often need a low retaining wall alongside the patio to hold the grade, which we can build in the same visit.
It depends on square footage, material and how much rock we have to work through, since shallow topsoil over limestone changes excavation time. Corral Bros gives free, no-obligation on-site estimates, usually scheduled within 48 hours, so you get real numbers for your property instead of a rough guess.
It can. Properties close to Cypress Creek or Blue Hole often fall under floodplain or setback rules, and we check those before we design anything. We keep patios, decks and fire features positioned to meet county requirements while still giving you a usable outdoor room close to the water.
A well-built deck does fine here, but we pay attention to airflow underneath and use fasteners and framing rated for our humidity swings and summer heat. Many Wimberley homeowners with heavy tree cover, especially cedar and oak, ask us about composite decking too, since it handles shade and moisture without the upkeep.
In most cases, yes. We assess the existing base and grade first, since a lot of older Wimberley patios were not built to carry the extra weight and gas or electrical lines a kitchen needs. If the base is not solid, we reinforce it before installing the kitchen or fire feature so it lasts.
A straightforward paver patio usually runs a few days once materials are on site, while retaining walls and full outdoor kitchens take longer depending on rock excavation and utility work. Corral Bros walks you through a realistic timeline at your on-site estimate so there are no surprises once we start.
