Soil Testing

The foundation of a Greenscapes lawn is balanced soil that is nutrient-rich.  Simply put, if your soil isn’t healthy, your lawn and other plants aren’t healthy.

Find out your soil’s pH and other characteristics by sending a sample to the soil lab at the University of Massachusetts (call 413-545-2311 or visit their website for complete details.  For a small fee, you will receive an analysis and recommendations for improving your soil.

Some nurseries also provide soil testing services for a reasonable price, and can help you interpret the results.  Ask one of our partnering nurseries near you if they provide this valuable service.

Another option is to have a Greenscapes Advisor help you with a soil analysis during a private Greenscapes Consultation.  The Advisor will show you how to take a soil sample from your yard, mail it to UMass, and review the lab's report in a customized recommendation that is specific to your property.
