    • Regular soil testing to check nutrient levels
    • Fertilizing to maintain good phosphorus and potassium levels
    • Adding organic matter through mulched grass clippings and light top dressing
    • Adjusting watering based on the sandy soil conditions

    The best way to care for your Medford lawn is to work with its natural conditions. The soil's good organic matter content (6.58%) helps grass roots grow strong, while the mix of sand, silt, and clay provides decent drainage.
