Soil pH Testing & Amendments
A balanced soil pH is critical for nutrient absorption. If your soil is too acidic or too alkaline, it can block essential nutrients from reaching your grass.
✔ Precise pH testing to diagnose imbalances
✔ Lime applications to raise soil pH (for overly acidic soil)
✔ Sulfur applications to lower soil pH (for overly alkaline soil)
By adjusting your soil’s pH levels, we ensure that your grass gets the full benefits of fertilization and proper nutrient absorption.
Compost Topdressing for Soil Enrichment
Adding organic compost to your lawn is one of the best ways to improve soil fertility and structure. Our compost topdressing treatments:
✔ Increase organic matter for improved soil texture and aeration
✔ Introduce beneficial microbes to promote soil health
✔ Enhance moisture retention for better drought resistance
By incorporating a thin layer of high-quality compost, we restore vital nutrients and create a healthier, more fertile lawn.
Gypsum Applications for Clay Soils
Texas soil is often heavy and clay-based, leading to poor drainage, compacted roots, and nutrient deficiencies. Gypsum is a natural soil conditioner that:
✔ Breaks up compacted clay soil for better drainage and root growth
✔ Loosens hard soil without altering pH levels
✔ Improves soil aeration, allowing grass to breathe and absorb nutrients
If your lawn has hard, compacted soil that doesn’t absorb water well, gypsum applications can dramatically improve its condition.
Organic Soil Conditioners for Long-Term Health
✔ Boost soil structure and nutrient availability
✔ Encourage deep root growth for stronger, healthier grass
✔ Help break down thatch buildup, preventing disease and pest issues
Organic soil conditioners are ideal for all soil types and work well alongside fertilization and aeration.
