Mountain City soil, grass & lawn challenges

Mountain City sits near the edge of the Hill Country, and many yards have shallow, rocky soil over limestone. Big shade trees are part of the charm, but they compete with grass for water, nutrients and sunlight.

Compost top dressing builds soil over time, and choosing the right grass for the amount of sun makes a big difference. St. Augustine and Zoysia usually do better than Bermuda under trees.

Watering rules in Mountain City

The City of Mountain City supplies water to residents and has adopted a drought contingency plan with staged restrictions. Check with the city for the current stage before changing your watering schedule, especially if you're planning new sod.

The town the railroad passed by

Mountain City was a ranching and farming center as early as the 1850s. When the railroad came through in the early 1880s, it bypassed Mountain City for the new town of Kyle, and the community slowly quieted down. It incorporated in 1984.

One of its early settlers, John Wheeler Bunton, signed the Texas Declaration of Independence. It's a small place with a big history, and we'd be proud to take care of your yard there.

Sod installation in Mountain City

If your Mountain City lawn has thinned out, our sod installation rebuilds it from the soil up: we remove the old surface, till in compost or enriched topsoil, grade and roll, then lay Bermuda, St. Augustine or Zoysia to match your sun.
