Houston Garden Soil Intelligence Tool

Supporting Soil Module

Use this only if your Garden Health Assessment flagged drainage, hard soil, wilting, or root-rot signals. It confirms what’s happening below the surface and gives the correct fix sequence for Houston beds.

Recommended based on your Garden Health Assessment result
Built for: Houston Clay • Beds • Shrubs • Flowers • Veg Gardens
Practical, field-tested guidance (no fluff).
Step 1: Bed Context 0%

This tool is designed to prevent wasted money and repeat failures.

Step 2: Field Tests (Garden Version)

These tests expose whether your bed is compacted, sealed, or draining too slowly to support roots.

Hand Tool Penetration
Push a hand trowel or screwdriver into moist soil (not soaked). How hard is it to reach 6 inches?
Percolation Hole Test
Dig a 6–8" hole in the worst spot. Fill with water once. Refill. How long for the 2nd fill to drain?
Surface Sealing / Crusting
Does water bead/run off, or does the top crust hard after sun?
Soil Smell After Rain
Dig 2–3 inches down after rain. What does it smell like?
Root Zone Reality
Pull a small weed/plant or inspect an edge. Are roots shallow and “pancaked”?
Mulch Behavior
Is mulch fluffy and breathable, or matted/hydrophobic (repels water)?
Want the Fastest Fix Without Guesswork?

For High/Severe scores, the clean path is: restore drainage + oxygen first, then adjust watering and rebuild soil structure.

How It Works

Questions About The Garden Assessment

It’s a practical assessment, not a lab test. You select what you’re seeing, and the tool gives you the most likely causes + the smartest next steps—so you stop guessing and start making progress immediately.

Start with the big 3 that move the needle fastest: watering correctly, mowing at the right height, and fixing obvious problem zones (dry corners, soggy spots, compacted soil).

Most lawns show visible improvement in 7–14 days when those basics are corrected.

That’s normal. Lawn issues often stack (watering + mowing + soil + pests). Follow the plan in order: fix the basics first, then reassess after a week. The goal is progress, not perfection on day one.

We recommend calling a professional if:

  • The damage is spreading quickly
  • You suspect pests (chewed blades, birds digging, sudden thinning)
  • You’re dealing with drainage issues or standing water
  • You’ve made the basic fixes and it’s not improving

A quick pro assessment can prevent wasting money on the wrong products or treatments.

Yes. If you want it handled professionally, we can take over the full process—from diagnosis to the right service.

We handle mowing adjustments, cleanups, aeration/topdressing, fertilization, sod repair, mulch refresh, and ongoing care. You’ll get clear communication, fair pricing, and results you can count on.
