Large-lot programs
McLendon-Chisholm blends acreage with new master-planned homes.
McLendon-Chisholm sits in Rockwall County just south of I-30, minutes from Buffalo Creek Golf Club where Chris is superintendent. The town pairs long-standing acreage with newer master-planned communities like Sonoma Verde, so a program here has to fit both a two-acre country lot and a fresh 60-foot builder lot.
The soil is blackland prairie clay across the area. On newer builds it is often compacted from construction, which is why brand-new sod can look thin even when it is watered. Chris reads the soil, protects root depth in year one, and times feeding and pre-emergent to the lawn rather than a generic schedule.
What makes McLendon-Chisholm lawns different.
Areas we cover
Master-planned homes including Sonoma Verde, plus the acreage and large-lot properties across McLendon-Chisholm.
Local soil
Blackland prairie clay, often compacted on newer construction lots. Aeration and correct watering matter as much as fertilizer here.
Grass mix
Common bermuda on full-sun builder lots, with St. Augustine and zoysia where landscaping and trees add shade.
First priorities
New builds start with establishment care and root protection. Established acreage usually starts with a soil test and aeration.
“A new build in Sonoma Verde with thin bermuda is not failing turf. It is turf installed on compacted clay without a plan. That is fixable once you read the soil first.”
Chris Rather, CGCS
McLendon-Chisholm questions Chris gets a lot.
Do you serve new communities like Sonoma Verde?
Yes. New master-planned lots and established acreage in McLendon-Chisholm are both in our service area.
My new build lawn looks thin even though I water it. Why?
Usually compacted construction soil, not bad sod. Aeration, root protection, and correctly timed feeding turn most new McLendon-Chisholm lawns around.
