Why Do We Test Soil?
A soil test is important for many reasons.
- Optimize healthy turf growth in your lawn
- Protect the environment from runoff and leaching of excess fertilizers
- Aid in the diagnosis of any abnormal turf growth
- Improve the nutritional balance of the growing plants
- Required under Maryland law to apply Phosphorus to lawn areas
A soil test will provide detailed information about soil pH and the balance of nutrients such as potassium and phosphorus. This information helps determine the current nutrient levels in your soil and if any soil amendments are needed
Our Baltimore Soil Testing Process
Soil tests are recommended on all turf properties to establish the baseline level of nutrients in the soil.Soil samples are carefully extracted from your lawn and sent to an independent lab for professional analysis. When test results show the need for potassium, phosphorus, or pH adjustments, we make the required recommendations to resolve those deficiencies.
