Soil Testing 101: Why Healthy Grass Starts Underground
Most homeowners focus on the surface. But beautiful lawns don’t begin with grass—they begin with soil.
Soil testing is the fastest, most accurate way to diagnose hidden yard problems, balance nutrients, and set your lawn up for long-term grass health.
What Soil Testing Reveals
A soil test can identify:
pH balance
Nutrient deficiencies
Organic matter levels
Drainage issues
Compaction indicators
This information allows for strategic grass treatment and targeted lawn solutions rather than guesswork.
How Soil Testing Fixes Lawn Problems
Once results are in, your lawn care team can create a custom plan that may include:
Lime or sulfur
Organic amendments
Fertility adjustments
Moisture regulation
Microbial boosters
Tools to combat grass disease
This process creates the ideal environment for long-term lawn recovery.
Why Soil Matters More Than Fertilizer
Many homeowners overuse lawn fertilizer hoping to fix thinning or patchy grass. But without balanced soil, fertilizer does very little.
Healthy soil = strong roots = resilient turf.
Everything starts underground.
