Did you know soil composition plays a vital role in the health of your lawn and plants?

 
The type of soil in your yard plays a vital role in determining the amount of water your lawn and plants require throughout the summer to remain healthy. Soil has several forms ranging from sand to clay. For example, sandy soils allow water to percolate into the ground faster, while clay soils will absorb and hold water for a longer period of time. Combinations of sand, silt, loam, and clay have different water holding capacities. By determining your soil composition, you can set your sprinkler timer to avoid unnecessary overwatering and runoff.
