Marion soil, grass & lawn challenges

Marion sits in farm country, and much of the soil is heavy blackland clay. It's rich, but it compacts easily, drains slowly after a big rain, and cracks in the heat of late summer.

Clay lawns respond well to core aeration and compost top dressing, which open the soil so water and roots can move down. When a lawn is too far gone, new sod laid over amended soil gives you a fresh start.

Watering rules in Marion

Marion is home to the headquarters of Green Valley Special Utility District (GVSUD), which serves much of this area. Its conservation page lists year-round watering guidelines and current drought restrictions. If your bill comes from a different provider, follow that provider's rules instead.

A railroad town named for Marion Dove

Marion got its name when the railroad came through in 1877. The line crossed land owned by Joshua W. Young, and the town was named for his grandson, Marion Dove. Today FM 78 runs straight through the middle of town, about 26 miles from San Antonio and 12 miles from Seguin.

Most folks know Marion for its schools and the Marion Bulldogs. It's a close-knit place, and we try to earn our spot here one yard at a time.
