If you’ve ever found yourself wondering why your lawn isn’t thriving despite watering, mowing at the proper height, and fertilizing it might be time to look beneath the surface. A soil test is one of the most effective tools you can use to improve the health and appearance of your lawn.

What is a Soil Test?

A soil test is a scientific analysis of your soil that tells us exactly what nutrients are present and what’s missing. It also reveals important details like your soil’s pH level, organic matter content, and even potential contaminants.

At Garpiel Group, we use professional testing methods to ensure you get accurate, actionable results. Once we understand your soil’s condition, we can recommend a lawn care program tailored specifically to your yard’s needs.

Why You Should Test Your Soil

Here are a few key reasons a soil test is a smart move:

1. Avoid Over-Fertilizing

Using the wrong type or amount of fertilizer can do more harm than good. A soil test helps you apply the right products in the right quantities.

2. Improve Grass Growth and Color

When your soil has the right nutrients, your grass can grow thicker, greener, and more resilient. You’ll see fewer bare patches, better color, and stronger root development.

3. Fix Hidden Problems

Sometimes lawn issues go deeper than the surface. A soil test can reveal problems like low pH (acidic soil), poor drainage, or compacted areas that you wouldn’t notice otherwise.

4. Tailor Your Lawn Care Plan

No two lawns are the same. Soil testing ensures that your lawn gets a customized care approach not a one-size-fits-all solution.

What Happens After the Test?

Once we receive your soil results, we’ll walk you through the findings and provide clear recommendations for improving your lawn.
