Understanding Howell's Soil Conditions
Every successful sod installation starts with understanding your soil. Here's what makes Howell unique.
Local Soil Type
Sandy loam (Freehold/Collington series)
Howell Township features Freehold sandy loam and Collington sandy loam — well-drained soils with moderate organic content and a mix of sand and clay. These soils are significantly better for lawn establishment than the pure sands of southern Ocean County, with better nutrient and water retention.
Local Challenges
Howell's soil is among the best in the region for sod installation, but the clay content can create compaction issues in high-traffic areas. Some properties in the western part of the township have heavier clay soils that require aeration and amendment. The large lot sizes common in Howell mean bigger projects.
Our Approach in Howell
Based on Howell's Sandy loam (Freehold/Collington series) 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.
