Understanding Freehold's Soil Conditions
Every successful sod installation starts with understanding your soil. Here's what makes Freehold unique.
Local Soil Type
Fine sandy loam (Freehold series, glauconitic)
Freehold is home to the Freehold soil series — a well-drained, fine sandy loam formed in glauconitic marine sediments. This greenish-tinged soil (from glauconite, also called greensand) is naturally rich in potassium and trace minerals, making it one of the best native soils for lawn establishment in central New Jersey.
Local Challenges
Freehold's glauconitic soil is naturally fertile but can be heavy when wet due to its clay content. Proper grading is important to prevent water pooling. The historic downtown area has older properties with compacted soil that benefits from aeration before sod installation.
Our Approach in Freehold
Based on Freehold's Fine sandy loam (Freehold series, glauconitic) soil, our team follows a customized installation process that includes soil testing, pH adjustment, organic amendment, and professional-grade sod selected specifically for Monmouth County conditions.
