Everyone wants a beautiful lush lawn and a vibrant landscape. A landscape that is easily maintained and requires little fertilization and pest-management inputs. After much trial and error, most people realize that a landscape, no matter how well-planned, requires time and effort to maintain.
We are professionals who possess expertise in the proper care of plants. Often, we can diagnose factors that limit the potential for plant growth and prescribe an effective treatment. Such factors include visible insect pests, some diseases and pH levels. When the cause for decline in turfgrass, landscape plants or trees cannot be discerned visually, it is best to collect samples for laboratory analysis of suspected biological or environmental factors that may be responsible for decline. In addition, it may be wise to test for certain properties of soil chemistry and nutrients prior to installing a new lawn or landscape. Laboratory assays for certain known factors that may contribute to decline often provide guidance as to the potential success or challenges associated with certain turfgrass species or landscape plants. Sampling for analysis of potential issues requires technical knowledge of the condition, pest, or disease that is to be analyzed. And just as important, correct sampling, packaging, and mailing of a sample is important for accurate diagnosis. The quality of the sample will determine the accuracy of the diagnosis.
Samples are analyzed by independent laboratories. Turnaround time depends on the analysis.
