Maxwell is a small farming community east of San Marcos, and more families are finding it every year. Yards here tend to be bigger and more open, which means more room for weeds and fire ants to take hold.

Maxwell soil, grass & lawn challenges

Maxwell sits on blackland prairie, with some of the deepest, darkest clay in Central Texas. It grows good grass, but it swells when wet, shrinks and cracks when dry, and compacts under traffic.

Core aeration and compost top dressing are the best tools for clay like this. For new lawns, we till the ground and add organic matter before laying sod so roots can get established.

Watering rules in Maxwell

Much of the Maxwell area is served by Maxwell Special Utility District, which posts its drought contingency plan and water restriction notices online. If your water comes from a different provider or a well, follow the rules for your supply.

From New Martindale to Maxwell

The community was originally called New Martindale. In 1887 it was renamed Maxwell in honor of Thomas Maxwell, who received the land grant for the area in 1845. German families arrived in the 1880s and started singing, dancing and shooting clubs that shaped local life for generations.

Maxwell has always been a place where people help each other out. We're glad to be part of that, one well-kept yard at a time.
