Water-wise landscapes that look great through Texas drought and watering limits.
Wimberley's limestone and cedar hillsides stay beautiful without overwatering-if your landscape is built right for them. Xeriscaping means designing with the land you have: drought-tolerant natives and adapted plants that thrive on Hays County rainfall and root deep into shallow topsoil, plus gravel, rock, and smart irrigation that cuts water bills and fits the terrain.
Your creekside homestead or Woodcreek home deals with real constraints. Summer heat, limestone run-off, clay breaks in the soil-and watering bans that come without warning when the Hill Country runs dry. A xeriscaped yard handles all that. You get less mowing, fewer dead patches, and land that actually looks better in a dry year than a wet one.

Xeriscaping is water-wise landscaping built around drought-tolerant plants, efficient drip irrigation and reduced turf. It can dramatically cut outdoor water use, which is often the largest part of a Central Texas water bill, while staying green and attractive through drought and watering restrictions.
No. A well-designed xeriscape is lush and colorful, using Texas natives and adapted perennials like salvia, lantana, esperanza and ornamental grasses alongside rock and gravel. The goal is beauty with low water, not a bare gravel lot.
Wimberley's shallow topsoil and limestone bedrock mean water doesn't stay where you plant it-it drains or runs off fast. Native and drought-tolerant plants root deeper and handle that better than turf. You skip the constant watering, and your yard stops looking stressed in summer. Corral Bros designs around what's actually in the ground here.
No. Proper xeriscaping for Wimberley includes evergreen natives like Texas privet and mountain laurel, ornamental grasses, and color-rich perennials that stay green spring through fall. You still get seasonal interest-just without the fuss or the water bill. We pick plants and rock placement that keep your yard living and full.
Cost depends on your lot size, what you remove, and plant density. We give free no-obligation on-site estimates-usually within 48 hours. That visit tells us about your soil, sun, and what you want. Call (737) 404-9343 to schedule, and we'll give you real numbers tied to your property.
Absolutely. Drip systems are core to xeriscaping in Hill Country climate. We run lines under mulch and rock to deliver water straight to roots on the hottest days-no waste to evaporation. For Wimberley properties with clay pockets or limestone, a good drip layout cuts your water use by half compared to turf and sprinklers.
Yes. Many Cypress Creek and Blue Hole homes have mature oak, cedar, or sycamore. We design around those, adding shade-tolerant groundcovers and native understory plants. That keeps the canopy you love while reducing mowing and watering in dappled areas-part of what makes xeriscaping so practical on wooded Hill Country land.
Far less than turf. After plants establish (usually one growing season), you'll weed, deadhead for appearance, and maybe thin ornamental grasses yearly. No weekly mowing or constant watering. Corral Bros can handle ongoing care or show you what to do yourself. Most Wimberley clients spend a fraction of the time and water they used to.
