Don’t waste money on products you don’t need!

The first step in any successful organic lawn and landscape care program is a soil test.  Soil testing determines the nutrient density of your soil and helps us recommend a program to help you achieve beautiful lawns, trees, and shrubs.  A soil test can be considered a “road map” for the organic treatment of soil.  By reading the map, we can understand where we are, determine where we want to be, and decide the best route to our destination (a healthy and safe lawn).

Regular soil testing and record keeping will allow you to see the changes that an organic approach to landscaping can bring to your soil.  Under most circumstances, we recommend that soil samples be tested every two years.  In some cases, such as poor soil fertility, soils treated with chemical fertilizers and herbicides within the last three years, and soils that are severely out of balance, more frequent soil testing and/or a more detailed test analysis may be recommended.
