I was wondering if someone could recommend a company for fertilizer, weed control, lime, etc...no mowing.
I am looking for a company that does a soil test and treats my lawn specific to needs. The companies I have spoken with use a common method same amounts of fertilizer, etc... For example, they apply the same level of lime they don't do it based on ph level. However, as anyone knows the level of lime depends on the ph of the soil and too much is just as bad as not enough. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks. |

Jay-
You may want to contact the Middlesex Co. office of Rutgers Cooperative Extension with any questions re: soil Ph, etc. |

Thanks. The town actually through Rutgers offers free soil testing. It's a great service.
It's just time consuming to do all the chemicals on my own based on the report. So I was hoping for a company that can do this work and use either the Rutgers test or their own as the basis for what to do with my lawn. When I showed the test to a couple of potential companies they basically said they treat all lawns alike regardless of the test. |
