Soil Testing & Analysis

Lawn Soil Testing and Analysis in Anchorage, Alaska

Soil Testing Service

We now offer soil testing which allows us to create a plan tailored to your specific lawn. We start by taking 3-4 core samples from each yard. These samples are sent off to a soil testing laboratory for analysis. Once we receive the results from the lab, we will create a custom plan, taking into account which minerals & nutrients your lawn needs. Recommendations of the various types of nutrients needed to bring your soil up to the optimal conditions for your grass.
