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....

    Earth First Turf is undoubtedly the company to use for the best care of your lawn! I know this to be true because two years ago my grass was skimpy. Weeds filed in bare spaces and the dragon weed, spurge, had invaded it freely. Now my lawn not only is green with grass but also thick grass! The staff at Earth First Turf are most knowledgeable and efficient in caring for your lawn. I would not have any other company treat my yard!

    I can’t say enough good things about Earth First Turf and Jason’s exceptional service! Jason went above and beyond, treating our property like his own. With all the leaves that had fallen this week, he took the time to blow them off first before applying the last pre-emergent of the season. This level of care is something we never experienced with our previous big-name lawn company, who was in and out in just a few minutes. Big props to Jason and the Earth First Turf team for their attention to detail and commitment to quality!
