Soil Analysis
We are proud to offer comprehensive soil testing in partnership with a trusted and qualified laboratory. This collaboration ensures you receive accurate, detailed insights into the key markers that affect your soil and your lawn's growth potential.
Why Test Your Soil?
Understanding your soil is the foundation of a beautiful, thriving lawn. Our soil testing service helps you:
Determine the precise nutrient needs of your lawn.
Avoid over-fertilization, which can harm the environment and your wallet.
Promote healthy, balanced growth by identifying deficiencies or imbalances.


How It Works:
We Collect the Sample: A Heartland Grounds team member will visit your property to collect a soil sample.
Lab Analysis: The sample is carefully packaged and sent to a qualified laboratory for professional analysis.
Receive Results: After the lab processes your soil, we provide you with a detailed report along with recommendations to improve your soil.
Customized Solutions: Based on the results, you have two options:
Tailored Services: Let us handle everything, from soil amendments to fertilization, to bring your soil to its ideal state.
DIY Option: If you prefer, you can take the results and manage the improvements on your own.
This process ensures you have the information needed to make informed decisions about your lawn, with the option to rely on our expertise for professional care.
What We Test For:
We analyze your soil for:
pH: The acidity or alkalinity of your soil, which affects nutrient availability.
Salts: Excess salts can inhibit plant growth.
Organic Matter: Indicates the health and fertility of your soil.
Phosphorus (P): Essential for root development and growth.
Potassium (K): Helps with disease resistance and overall plant health.
Magnesium (Mg) and Calcium (Ca): Key elements for soil structure and nutrient uptake.
Sodium (Na): Helps identify potential salt problems.
Calculated Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC): Measures the soil's ability to retain nutrients.
Nitrates (NO3): Vital for leafy growth.
Sulfur (S): Plays a role in chlorophyll production and soil health.
Zinc (Zn): A trace element essential for plant development.
