Soil samples tested for pH and nutrients, then corrected with lime, compost and the right fertilizer for healthier lawns and beds.
Healthy plants start with healthy soil, and the only way to know what your soil needs is to test it. Many Middle Tennessee yards have acidic clay with low organic matter, and applying fertilizer without testing is like taking medicine without a diagnosis. A soil test reveals the pH and the levels of key nutrients, so you spend money only on what the lawn or garden truly needs.
We collect samples from different areas of your yard and send them for analysis. When results come back, we explain them in plain language and write a plan. That may include lime to raise pH, sulfur to lower it, compost to improve structure and fertilizer blends matched to your grass or plants. We can apply the amendments, work them into beds and recommend a retest schedule. Fixing soil often does more for a yard than any single product. We label each sample by location, so a front lawn, a shaded back yard and a vegetable bed can each get their own recommendation. Many yards have very different soil in different corners, and testing separately avoids treating everything the same way. We also note drainage and compaction while we are on site.
Samples from several areas show how soil changes across the property.
We translate pH and nutrient numbers into clear recommendations.
Lime, compost or fertilizer is applied to fix the actual issues.
A follow-up test shows how the soil has responded.

You tell us about your yard and what you want, new landscaping, a lawn fix or a patio, and we set a visit that fits your day.
We walk the property, measure the areas and check sun, shade, soil, drainage and access, noting existing plants and anything worth keeping.
We explain your options for plants, materials and layout, sketch the design and give you a written scope with clear timing and pricing.
We arrange for underground utilities to be located, protect the house and lawn, remove what must go and rebuild the soil and base.
We install plants, sod, stone and lighting with the crew on site from the first delivery to the last load of mulch, keeping the site tidy as we go.
We walk you through watering and care, leave a simple guide, clean up and set a reminder for your first-season check.
Every two to three years, or when problems appear.
Most grasses prefer slightly acidic soil, roughly six to seven.
It improves structure over time, especially when worked in.
Many Tennessee soils are acidic, and a test shows if lime is needed.
Yes. Beds often have different needs from the lawn.
