Your soil in Toms River.
We already know it.
Toms River sits on predominantly sandy loam soil typical of the Barnegat Bay watershed. The Downer and Evesboro soil series found here are well-drained, acidic sandy loams that require specific soil amendments for optimal sod establishment. The high sand content means water drains quickly, making proper irrigation critical for new sod installations.
Soil type: Sandy loam (Downer/Evesboro series)
Toms River properties face unique challenges including salt spray from nearby Barnegat Bay, sandy soil that drains quickly, and occasional coastal flooding in low-lying areas near the Toms River waterway. Summer heat combined with fast-draining soil means newly installed sod needs consistent watering schedules.
From the established neighborhoods near Cattus Island County Park to the newer developments along Route 37, Toms River homeowners take pride in their lawns. Whether you're in North Dover, Holiday City, or near the Toms River Country Club, our team knows the specific soil conditions in your neighborhood.
