Find Out Exactly What Your Soil Needs

A great lawn starts below the surface. The Yard Mastery Soil Test Kit measures your soil's pH, macronutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — plus secondary and micronutrients like calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron.

You'll also get your soil's organic matter percentage and a base saturation breakdown, giving you a complete picture of what's happening underground. No more applying products your soil doesn't need.

Results That Build Your Custom Program

Your soil test results feed directly into the free Yard Mastery app. Instead of just handing you a spreadsheet of numbers, we turn your data into a complete, scheduled fertilizer program tailored to your soil's actual needs.

You'll see exactly which products to apply, how much to use, and when to apply them — all laid out on a calendar. One tap to buy everything you need, with a full program preview so you know what's coming before the season starts.

Stop Guessing — Start Knowing

Most DIYers buy fertilizer based on what the bag says or what worked for someone else. But every lawn is different. Without knowing your soil's actual nutrient levels and pH, you could be over-applying some nutrients and missing others entirely.

A soil test takes the guesswork out of the equation. You'll spend less on products you don't need, get better results from the products you do apply, and build a lawn care program that actually matches your soil — not someone else's.

You don't need to be a soil scientist. The kit comes with everything you need: sample bags, step-by-step instructions, and a prepaid mailer. Collect samples from a few spots across your lawn, mix them together, fill the bag, and drop it in any USPS mailbox.

Must Do It

Even if you're confident in your lawn's look and health, it's still great to know what your soil composition is and what you could be doing better. This allows the results to further customize your lawn care program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Yard Mastery Soil Test Kit test for?

The kit tests for soil pH, macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium), and secondary/micronutrients including calcium, magnesium, sulfur, iron, manganese, zinc, copper, and boron. You'll also get your soil's organic matter percentage and a base saturation breakdown.

How do I collect a soil sample?

Use a clean trowel or soil probe to collect small samples from 8–10 spots across your lawn at a depth of about 4 inches. Mix them together in a clean bucket, then fill the included sample bag. The kit comes with step-by-step instructions and we have a step-by-step video walkthrough that shows you exactly how to collect your sample — watch it here.

How long does it take to get results?

After the lab receives your sample, results are typically available within 5–7 business days. You'll get a notification in the Yard Mastery app as soon as your results are ready.

Do I need the Yard Mastery app to use the soil test kit?

The app isn't required, but it's free and highly recommended. Your results feed directly into the app, which generates a custom fertilizer program based on your soil's actual needs. Without the app, you'll still receive your results but won't get the personalized program. Download it free on iOS or Android.

How often should I test my soil?

We recommend testing at least once a year — ideally in early spring or fall. If you're making significant amendments based on your results, testing again after a full season helps you track progress and adjust your program.

Can I test multiple lawn zones separately?

Yes. If different areas of your yard have different soil conditions (e.g., front yard vs. backyard), you can purchase multiple kits and submit separate samples. The app supports tracking results for multiple zones.
