Key Insights From Your Soil Test

The Building Blocks of a Healthier Lawn.

Your soil test gives us real data so we can fine-tune your program and recommend any needed supplemental applications.

  • Soil pH

    Tells us if your soil is too acidic or alkaline. The right pH helps your grass absorb nutrients more effectively.

  • Organic Matter

    A measure of the amount of decomposed organic material in your soil. Higher levels help improve soil structure, water retention and nutrient availability.

  • Potassium (K)

    An essential nutrient for root development, stress tolerance and overall turf health. We check your levels to see if supplemental potassium is needed.

Did You Know?

Your grass clippings contain valuable nutrients.

Each time you mow and remove clippings, you're taking nutrients out of your lawn. Mulching clippings back into the lawn recycles those nutrients into the soil — which is why we generally recommend leaving properly sized clippings on the lawn.

Healthier soil starts with simple habits.

Why We Recommend Testing Bi-Annually.

Soil isn't static. Weather, fertilization, liming, irrigation, mowing practices and other factors can influence soil conditions over time. Testing every 1–2 years helps us keep your program on track and make any necessary adjustments for continued success.

Soil Testing Doesn't Replace Your Program.

Think of it like a physical. Blood work gives you important information, but it doesn't replace a healthy diet and exercise. Your soil test helps us fine-tune your lawn care program — it works together with your fertilization, weed control and other services for the best results.
