Santa Clara is one of the smallest cities we serve, with fewer than 800 residents, and one of the most rural. People here have room to breathe, and most of them would rather spend weekends enjoying it than fighting weeds and fire ants.

True Roots offers seasonal weed control and fertilization, aeration and top dressing, lawn leveling, premium sod installation, and fire ant and lawn insect control, with no long-term contracts.

Santa Clara soil, grass & lawn challenges

The ground around Santa Clara is mostly heavy clay and clay loam, good for growing things but prone to compaction and cracking. Lawns on these soils do best with yearly aeration, organic matter added through top dressing, and fertilizer timed to the growing season.

On bigger lots, we often recommend focusing treatments on the areas you actually use, like around the house, the play area and the drive, rather than paying to treat every acre.

Watering rules in Santa Clara

Water in the Santa Clara area is commonly supplied by Green Valley Special Utility District (GVSUD), which publishes year-round watering guidelines and drought stages. If you're on a well or a different provider, follow the rules that apply to your supply.

One of Guadalupe County's youngest cities

Santa Clara only became an incorporated city in May 1999, and every one of its residents lives in an area the Census counts as rural. The population actually grew from 725 in 2010 to 778 in 2020.

It's a community that chose to stay small, and we respect that. You'll get straightforward advice from us and a plan sized to your property, not a sales pitch.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I have to treat my whole property?
No. Our quote tool lets you pick the areas you want treated, so you can focus on the yard around your home.
Do you service Santa Clara homes on wells?
Yes. Our treatments don't depend on your water source, though we'll talk with you about watering needs, especially for new sod.
What's the best grass for a rural Santa Clara yard?
Bermuda is tough, drought-tolerant and recovers fast in full sun, which makes it the most common choice. St. Augustine or Zoysia may suit shaded areas near the house.
