ou don’t have a brown thumb, you just live in Utah. Our hard rock soil has a higher pH balance, more salt, less water and less organic material.

The professionals at Tuck Landscape can help you work with what you’ve got. Tuck Landscape

is a full-service landscaping company with unsurpassed strengths in design, installation, and maintenance and a solid reputation of commitment to quality. “We have been in business for more than 35 years, so people use Tuck because quality is our number one priority,” says owner Rob Radcliffe.

So if they tell you that healthy soil equals healthy plants, listen. The most common soil types in Utah are sand and clay. Once you know what you have, you’ll know how to water and what types of plants will succeed in your soil.

“Knowing which soil type you have is the first step towards choosing and maintaining your plants,” says the Tuck team. “Nutrient deficiencies can stunt growth and steal color.”

Compaction is also a big soil issue, they explain. “Lots of traffic, especially when wet, creates problems for lawns and beds. It helps to aerate your lawn twice a year. Clay soils benefit from regular aeration while sandy soils can go less often but will need more added nutrients.” The Tuck Landscape team is made up of experts in design/build, hardscapes, specimen plant material, irrigation, maintenance, large scale projects and more. Let Tuck help you create your ideal outdoor living space. Visit the blog (tucklandscape.com/ blog) for more great tips from the experts.

| pro tip | To check your soil type, wet a handful and squish it between your fingers. Sandy soil feels gritty while clay feels smooth and sticky. If you want a more accurate soil test, contact us at Tuck Landscape.
