Services
Diagnostic testing, custom blending, and expert consultation for turf and landscape professionals.
Soil Testing & Analysis
Understanding your soil is the foundation of any successful turf program. IBG provides comprehensive soil testing through accredited laboratories, with interpretation and custom recommendations from Ken.
What you get:
Complete soil nutrient analysis
pH and organic matter readings
Cation exchange capacity (CEC)
Custom fertilizer recommendations based on results
Follow-up testing to track improvement
Tissue Analysis
When your turf is showing symptoms but soil tests look normal, tissue analysis reveals what the plant is actually absorbing. It’s the difference between what’s in the soil and what’s getting to the plant.
Ideal for:
Diagnosing nutrient deficiency symptoms
Verifying fertilizer program effectiveness
Troubleshooting problem areas
Optimizing micronutrient applications
Water Testing
Irrigation water quality directly impacts turf health and fertilizer effectiveness. High salts, bicarbonates, or pH issues in your water source can undermine even the best nutrient programs.
We test for:
pH and electrical conductivity
Sodium, chloride, and bicarbonate levels
Hardness and alkalinity
Iron, manganese, and other elements
Recommendations for water treatment if needed
Custom Fertilizer Blending
Can’t find exactly what you need in the catalog? Ken works with manufacturer partners to create custom fertilizer blends tailored to your soil test results and specific site conditions.
Whether you need a unique NPK ratio, specific micronutrient additions, or a specialized granular blend — we can formulate it for you.
On-Site Consultation
Ken visits client sites to assess conditions firsthand. Whether you’re dealing with a persistent turf problem, planning a renovation, or setting up a new maintenance program — an on-site visit provides context that lab results alone can’t.
