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.
