When soil is fully saturated (holding all water it can without draining), it behaves like a sponge—firm but yielding under weight. The surface isn't muddy; there's no free water.
Bermudagrass and other dense turfs amplify the sensation. As temperatures rise and soil dries, it firms up.
This is not a drainage problem or a hazard. It's simply soil at field capacity.
