Lawn Care, Sod & Pest Control in Buda, TX

Buda more than doubled in size between 2010 and 2020, growing from about 7,300 residents to more than 15,000. It still feels like a small town, and that's how we like to work: show up when we say we will, explain what we're doing, and leave the yard better than we found it.

True Roots helps Buda homeowners build thick, healthy lawns with seasonal weed and fertilizer programs, aeration and top dressing, premium sod installation, and control of fire ants and lawn-damaging insects.

Buda soil, grass & lawn challenges

Buda sits where the Hill Country meets the prairie. On the west side, closer to the Balcones Escarpment, yards often have shallow soil over limestone that dries out fast. East of I-35, heavy clay holds water after rain and bakes hard in summer.

Both extremes are tough on grass. Shallow soils benefit from added compost or topsoil before sod, and from fertilizer timed to what the roots can actually use. Clay soils respond well to core aeration and compost top dressing, which help water soak in instead of running off.

Watering rules in Buda

Buda posts its current drought stage and watering schedule on the City of Buda Water Conservation page. Some neighborhoods around Buda are served by other water districts, so check your water bill to see which rules apply to you.

Wiener dogs, Onion Creek and a town that keeps its character

Every spring the Buda Lions Club hosts the wiener dog races, and people come from well outside Hays County to watch. Onion Creek winds along the northwest side of town, and local tradition says the name Buda comes from the Spanish word viuda, meaning widow, after the widows who cooked at the old Carrington Hotel.

A lot has changed along I-35, but Old Town Buda still feels like a place people chose on purpose. We think lawn care there should feel the same way: local, honest and personal.
