Turf & Soil Diagnostics

Turf & Soil Diagnostics operates a laboratory network formed in 2015 from the merger of two leading physical testing labs serving the landscape, golf, and sports turf industries. The company provides comprehensive testing and consultation services for natural and synthetic turf systems, soils, growing media, and drainage systems.

The laboratory specializes in physical evaluation of aggregates, soils, and amendments for applications including sports fields, golf courses, green roofs, structural soils, and retention basins. Services encompass quality control testing programs to verify material consistency during construction, soil diagnostics, and turf management program development. For synthetic turf surfaces, the company performs Gmax testing and offers product development testing for materials suppliers.

Turf & Soil Diagnostics maintains facilities in Linwood, Kansas and Trumansburg, New York, serving clients with both legacy testing methods and innovative evaluation techniques. The company focuses on ensuring high-quality growing media, rootzones, and subgrades with consistent performance across various specifications and budgets. Environmental responsibility is central to operations, with all test procedures designed to reduce, reuse, and recycle materials. The laboratory exclusively tests uncontaminated samples and has eliminated hazardous materials from testing procedures while utilizing electronic reporting and recycling programs throughout their facilities.
