GRIMES COUNTY
GREENRIVER IN NAVASOTA, TX
Navasota is a town of about 7,600 people (2020 census) in Grimes County on a bend of the Navasota River, the largest town in the county. It grew as a railroad shipping center in the 1800s, keeps a historic downtown of stone and brick buildings, and was named the Blues Capital of Texas by the Legislature in 2005.
About 27 miles south of our Bryan base on Highway 6, roughly a 30-minute drive.
The ground
Grimes County uplands are gray sandy loams over clay subsoil, with dark clay alluvium in the Navasota River floodplain, so drainage and base depth depend heavily on which side of town and how close to the river a property is.
Homes and lots
Older homes on in-town lots near downtown, newer subdivisions such as Pecan Lakes Estates at the golf course, and acreage homes in the county around town.
Good to know
Inside city limits, fences and other construction are permitted through the City of Navasota Building & Permitting Office on East McAlpine Street, with applications filed through the city’s online portal; outside town, Grimes County rules apply.

SERVICES IN NAVASOTA
Everything we do in Navasota.
LAWN & LANDSCAPE CARE
Navasota mixes older in-town lots, golf-course subdivision yards, and county acreage, so service ranges from a weekly small-lot cut to large open mowing.
OUTDOOR IMPROVEMENTS
Older homes near downtown often have established trees and beds that need resetting, while newer houses at Pecan Lakes and on acreage start closer to bare ground.
SITE & PROPERTY WORK
Properties toward the Navasota River sit on dark clay floodplain soils that drain slowly, so grading and drains are planned around where the water can actually leave.
PAVERS & HARDSCAPE
Sandy loam over clay on the uplands and heavy clay near the river call for different base depths, so a patio here is built to the soil on that lot.
POOLS & SPAS
Pools inside Navasota go through the city’s permitting office, and on county acreage around town the septic field and low ground decide where the pool can go.
