Stop guessing. Test the soil.
Most yard problems are soil problems pretending to be plant problems. A real lab panel — not a finger in the dirt — is how we start.
What this is.
Florida soils are wildly variable. Sandy on the coast, peaty in the panhandle, compacted clay fill in new construction. pH swings from 4.5 to 8.2 within a single county. Same fertilizer on different lots can be the right move or actively harmful.
We pull representative samples from multiple zones, send them to a partner ag lab, and read the report with you. You see pH, macronutrients, micronutrients, organic matter, salinity, cation exchange capacity — and you get a written plan that addresses what the chemistry says.
Scope of work.
Multi-zone sampling
Samples pulled from distinct turf, tree, and bed zones — not a single 'yard' average.
Comprehensive lab panel
pH, N-P-K, Ca/Mg/S, micronutrients, organic matter, CEC, salinity.
Plain-English report
We translate the lab numbers into what's actually happening underground.
Custom fertilization plan
Targeted amendments and feeding schedule — written to your panel.
Liming & pH correction
When pH is off, we correct it before fertilizing — otherwise the food doesn't land.
Micronutrient treatments
Iron, manganese and magnesium foliar / soil applications for chlorotic specimens.
Compaction & aeration
Diagnosis and treatment of compacted root zones, especially on new builds.
Annual re-test
Soil chemistry moves — we re-panel yearly on Rx contracts to track trends.
A repeatable process, every time.

Written treatment plan with products, rates, timing.
A bag of fertilizer is a guess. A panel is a plan.
The Florida default is to spread the same product on every yard at the same rate, every season. That overfeeds half the lawn, starves the trees, and washes the rest into the watershed. Testing first changes the math.
