Jersey Village’s Blackland Prairie Soils: Mowing Practices for Heavy Clay Conditions

Jersey Village is situated on Houston Black and related clay-rich soils, as identified by the USDA Web Soil Survey. These Vertisols are characterized by high shrink-swell capacity, poor drainage, and a pH typically ranging from 7.5 to 8.2. For optimal turf health, mowing heights should be maintained at 2.5-3 inches for St. Augustinegrass and 1.5-2 inches for Bermuda grass, with core aeration to a depth of 2-3 inches recommended every 2-3 years to alleviate compaction. Avoid mowing when soils are saturated to prevent rutting and soil structure damage. Soil testing is available through Texas A&M AgriLife Extension for pH and nutrient management guidance.
