Cleaning, mowing, grading, vegetation control, debris removal and erosion repair for drainage swales, channels, ditches and culverts.
In Wimberley, water does not soak in, it runs. Shallow topsoil sitting on cedar-studded limestone means rain off a Hill Country rooftop or parking lot hits ground that cannot absorb much of it, and it is in that runoff path, the swales, channels, and culverts cut into these properties, where Corral Bros does its work.
On a lot of sites around Woodcreek and Cypress Creek we find the same patterns: a swale that drains slow because silt and leaf litter from cedar and oak have built up in the low spots, a culvert half-choked with gravel washed down from a steeper drive, or a bare embankment losing soil every time a storm rolls through. Volunteer cedar seedlings taking root in a channel bank are common too, and left alone their roots work the soil loose right where you need it to hold.
Working with us on this scope means a crew that walks the whole drainage path, not just the parts visible from the road, and tells you plainly what they find. We clean and grade what needs it, clear culverts and ditches, control vegetation before it takes over a bank, and repair erosion where water has already started cutting in. For a board or property manager, that means fewer surprises after the next heavy rain and a clear answer on what the ground actually needs.
We're a local, family-built company that treats your Wimberley property like our own, tidy crews, clear pricing, and swale, channel & culvert maintenance that holds up to Hays County conditions. Available as a one-time project or part of an ongoing plan.
We walk the swales, channels, and culverts on foot, not just the easy-access points, since Hill Country lots often hide a blocked culvert behind cedar or a dry creek crossing. The on-site estimate is free with no obligation, and we usually get out within 48 hours of your call. You will get a clear scope before any mowing or grading starts.
Most properties in this area need a full cleaning and vegetation pass once or twice a year, but a heavy rain event out of the Hill Country can silt a channel or shift gravel into a culvert mouth overnight. If your board has noticed standing water after storms or a culvert that used to drain fast and now does not, that is the trigger to call rather than wait for the calendar.
Yes. On occupied properties we schedule grading and culvert clearing around normal traffic patterns and stage equipment away from parking and walkways. For gated communities or retail lots with tenant deliveries, we coordinate timing with the manager ahead of the work so nobody is surprised by a crew in a ditch line.
Shallow topsoil over limestone means water moves fast off the rock and concentrates quickly in whatever swale or channel is downhill, so erosion and undercutting show up sooner here than in deeper-soil areas. It also means grading has to work with the rock rather than try to cut deep new channels, and bare slopes need vegetation or stabilization fast before the next rain strips them further.
The length and number of swales, channels, and culverts on the property is the biggest factor, followed by how overgrown or silted they are when we start. Access matters too: a culvert buried under cedar growth or a channel along a steep creek bank near Blue Hole takes more time than an open mowed swale. Erosion repair and any grading beyond routine reshaping are scoped separately once we see the ground.
