What a lawn soil test kit tells you
A lawn soil test kit takes the mystery out of what's happening beneath your grass. Instead of guessing which nutrients your yard needs, you get real answers about pH, organic matter, and the good stuff roots actually crave. Think of it as a conversation with your soil (minus the awkward small talk).

Your lawn soil test kit questions answered
Q: What does a lawn soil test kit measure?
A: The Sunday Soil Test Kit & Analysis measures 15 essential metrics including macro and micronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron), pH levels, organic matter, and cation exchange capacity. Everything happening underground that affects what's growing above it.
Q: How do I collect a soil sample, and how many spots should I take it from?
A: Dig 4–6 inches deep and pull samples from 3–6 different spots across your yard, front, back, sunny, shady. Mix them together, remove debris, and scoop about a cup into the sample bag.
Q: Does one kit cover my whole yard, or do I need more than one?
A: Yes. Soil nutrients don't usually vary dramatically across a single yard, so sampling from 3–6 spots and mixing gives you the full picture. No need for multiples unless you're testing separate garden beds.
Q: How long do results take, and how will I receive them?
A: Results land in your inbox 3–4 weeks after the lab receives your sample. You'll get an email notification, and your full soil analysis will be waiting on your Sunday account page. Science takes a minute, but it's worth the wait.
Q: Will the results include clear recommendations on what to add and how much?
A: Absolutely. Your results come with personalized recommendations based on what your soil actually needs. No guessing, no overbuying (and our Yard Advisors are always here if you want backup).
Q: What's included with the kit, and is return shipping prepaid?
A: Everything you need: a soil coring tool, sample bag, ID sticker, return box, and a prepaid shipping label. Collect your sample, seal it up, slap on the label, and drop it in your mailbox.
