Soil sampling is an important component of your turf health, as it helps to manage the nutritional values (NPK) and pH (acidity) in your lawn's soil. In addition, these tests help determine the quantities of lime and fertilizer nutrients that should be applied to lawns and gardens.

In Lenawee County, our sandier soil often has difficulty maintaining potassium. This element is extremely helpful in combating many lawn diseases and stress (including drought stress). Most lawns that our team samples need at least some potassium, in part because many lawn companies don't take the time or understand the need for this critical element. Potassium may not be as flashy or showy (or as inexpensive) as a quick-release nitrogen application, but all of these plant and turf nutrients are critical and need to work together for a healthy lawn.
