Why You Should Have a Soil Test Done

Soil testing can help your lawn care team assess the best way to care for your lawn. If your lawn is low on nitrogen, we can adjust accordingly. Lawns that are low in phosphorus must have a soil test performed in order to indicate the low phosphorus level. In Massachusetts, a soil test is required to apply phosphorus.

Our soil testing can also measure your pH level. If a soil pH level isn’t in the ideal range, then your plants can’t absorb as many nutrients. Soil pH should fall between 6.5 to 6.9. Our soil tests are performed by a qualified lab. A free soil test is included with all of our lawn care programs.

Soil Testing Helps Protect the Environment, Conserve Energy, & Save Money

When you can find out how much of each nutrient is in your soil, it helps avoid the application of excess fertilizer. For example, if your soil has a high nitrogen content already and you have a high nitrogen fertilizer added to your lawn, the soil won’t absorb much of it. Thus, the fertilizer will run off in the next rain and leach into the water system. This leads to water contamination and other issues. It can also conserve energy and save money.

Accurately Improve Nutrient Balance with Soil Testing

It can be frustrating to try many methods of treating plants and grass only to have those methods not work. This can happen due to an imbalance of nutrients in your soil, and the best way to determine what needs to be balanced is to conduct a soil test. Without knowing exactly what your soil needs, it’s tough to apply the correct treatments to help your lawn and landscape plants reach their optimal health.
