Soil Tests

Soil testing- Specific plants require specific fertilizers and the only way to know for certain what is in the soil is to test it. We take samples for lawns, trees, shrubs, and send them to the UGA Cherokee County extension office to get tested. This tells us the macronutrient levels, secondary nutrient levels, and pH level of the soil and what the optimum requirements for the plant are. Multiple tests may be needed based on size, area, and plant type.

If you're planning to undertake any treatments of a lawn and the timing of them, one critical step that often gets overlooked is getting a soil test done. While it might not seem like an exciting task, soil testing is essential for ensuring the success and longevity of your project.

Firstly, a soil test provides valuable information about the composition and quality of your soil. It helps identify any deficiencies or imbalances in nutrients, pH levels, or organic matter content. Armed with this knowledge, you can tailor your fertilization and amendment strategies to optimize plant growth.

In conclusion: while booking a professional for a soil test may not be glamorous nor boast "years of experience," its benefits far outweigh its drawbacks as it enables informed decision-making throughout your lawn care journey. So go ahead – dig beneath the surface – book that crucial soil test today!

    I want to thank Andrew and his crews for a great job on my lawn. My yard was looking really sad and in need of some serious help. I was using a different local lawn service at the time and saw Earth First Turf's add on FB. I thought I would take a chance because he seemed so knowledgeable in his field, and I was not disappointed. From their specialized soil tests and periodic lawn treatments to their awesome top dressing treatment, my lawn now looks 100% better and even my neighbors have asked how the change took place so quickly. I'm glad I took the chance on switching from a company I had been with since 1994. Andrew also takes time to answer all my questions and gives me advice on things concerning my yard whenever I call him. If you've been thinking about switching to a different lawn service but wasn't sure if you wanted to do it, believe me... Do it. You'll be glad you did....

    I was in a delicate situation because my husband is a landscaper and was doing our grass's weed control and fertilization. The chemicals he bought at Home Depot just never seemed to do the job! We have 1.7 acres of grass and plants and flowers and how my yard looks is EXTREMELY important to me. Finally, I got on Next Door to see who everyone else was using and Earth First was the name that came up most often as a recommendation. I started with them in April 2023 and honest to God I have NOTHING but good things to say about Andrew Beirne and Earth First. If you could see all our grassy areas, it would blow your mind. The grass is very lush and fertile now. And no weeds anywhere. Their prices are so reasonable! In my opinion, you cannot go wrong using Andrew and Earth First. They are GREAT. And my landscaper husband thinks so too!

    I could not be more pleased with the services I have received from Earth First Turf since May, 2024. Despite efforts for several seasons from two other landscaping companies, my yard had persistent, multiple bare spots and was just overall dull. Within a month with Earth First Turf, my yard was much improved. After 3 months it was picture perfect! Denise Perlaky
