Lawn Health Assessments
Why NOLA Lawns Need a Different Approach
Most lawn problems in New Orleans are not what they look like on the surface. A yellowing lawn might be nutrient deficiency, root rot from drainage failure, or the wrong grass variety for the shade conditions. Treating the symptom without diagnosing the cause is how lawns fail repeatedly
Our lawn health assessments are on-site evaluations conducted by someone who works in NOLA's specific climate every day. We walk the property, assess drainage patterns, test soil where needed, identify turf conditions, and give you a written report with findings and a prioritized remediation plan
There is no mystery pricing and no pressure to buy additional services. The assessment tells you what is wrong, what is causing it, and what your options are. You decide what to do with that information

Our Lawn Health Assessments
What We Offer
Soil Testing
pH, nutrient levels, and composition analysis. Identifies deficiencies and compaction issues not visible from the surface. Lab samples sent when the walkthrough indicates a need.
Drainage Evaluation
On-site assessment of standing water patterns, soil permeability, surface slope, and drainage flow. The single most common underlying cause of NOLA lawn failure.
Turf Condition Review
Grass variety identification, disease and pest diagnosis, stress cause analysis. We identify what is affecting the turf and what triggered the decline.
Written Remediation Plan
Documented findings with prioritized action items and cost estimates. What we found, what is causing it, and what it takes to fix it. No pressure to proceed with us.
