  • During the first consultation (by phone), our master gardeners will learn the issues with your yard, understand your yard’s use, and review the procedures for sampling soil and measuring your turf area. The Home Turf includes one soil sample for lawn areas up to 15,000 square feet and at least two consultations. Additional soil samples are available for a additional fee.
  • During the second consultation, our master gardeners will review the results of your soil test and provide you recommendations for maintaining your lawn with an individual Nutrient Management Plan. Your NMP will provide recommended levels of fertilization, lime, and schedules for their application.

Applications are now closed for 2023 and will reopen next spring.
