Understanding Soil Composition for Perfect Garden Health


The Science Behind Your Garden’s Foundation

At GreenKnight Landscaping, we understand that the key to a thriving landscape lies beneath the surface. Today, let’s explore the essential components of healthy soil composition that make your garden flourish.

The Perfect Soil Mix

The ideal soil composition consists of:

  • 45% Minerals
  • 25% Water
  • 25% Air
  • 5% Organic matter

Understanding these ratios is crucial for maintaining optimal plant growth and landscape health. When these elements are properly balanced, roots can easily penetrate the soil, access nutrients, and establish strong growth patterns.

Different landscapes require different soil compositions. Clay, sandy, and loamy soils each present unique challenges and opportunities. Our professional landscaping services include comprehensive soil testing to determine the perfect balance for your specific needs.
