SOIL TESTING
We provide soil testing for your lawn. Each lawn has different needs. A
soil test is taken to determine what exactly your lawn needs.
Key Benefits
- Survey information showing soil porosity and thatch thickness allows for recommendations
for improvements to foster better root development and easier watering.
- The health of the soil is considered because it is the foundation for a lasting vigorous
lawn.
- The pH is measured. Three factors are considered in making the final
recommendations. Nothing will work right if the soil pH is wrong.
- The availability of essential nutrient groups is measured. Exact recommendations
are given by turf and soil experts to insure healthy growth.
- Soluble salts and chlorides - if the readings are high it may signal immediate or future
problems. High readings can often mean roots will be starved or necessary moisture.
- Recommendations are given to correct or head-off a potentially dangerous situation.
