Soil samples can be a great way to check out the health of your lawn. If you’re having issues growing strong, healthy grass, it could be a number of factors: disease, poor fertilization, incorrect watering, and insects are just a few. Taking a soil sample and sending it to a soil lab (such as LSU) can diagnose or rule out a number of issues. Having healthy, well-fed soil encourages strong grass roots that can withstand stressors like temperature and drought.
