Your soil in Island Heights.
We already know it.
Island Heights sits on a bluff above the Toms River, giving it a unique soil profile compared to surrounding lowland towns. The upland areas feature Sassafras sandy loam with better structure and organic content than coastal sands, while the lower slopes near the river have more clay-influenced soils with moderate drainage.
Soil type: Sandy loam (Sassafras series, well-drained upland)
Island Heights' elevated bluff position creates slope management challenges — proper grading and erosion control are important during sod installation on steeper lots. The river-facing properties deal with humidity and occasional salt influence from the Toms River estuary.
Island Heights' historic Victorian streets and sloped lots require careful sod installation to prevent erosion and ensure even establishment. Our team has experience working with the borough's varied terrain, from the flat upland streets to the sloped riverside properties.
