Weed, Insect and Disease identification.

In most cases we will be able to identify the particular weed, pest or disease on site. If not, we can send it off to a labratory for further testing, additional charges will apply.

Soil testing

Soil testing can be used to assess and identify nutrient deficiencies, pH levels, and other factors in the soil that can affect optimal growth. Once these have been identified, Lawn Lab can assist with a soil amendment program to enhance soil and return it to best possible conditions. Soil samples are sent off for testing.
