Lawn Treatment in Wheaton: What is pH Balancing?

At Lawn Doctor of Batavia-Aurora, we offer Wheaton-area home and business owners a long list of lawn treatments to refresh, repair, rebuild and rejuvenate their outdoor areas. One of these services that you may not be familiar with is our pH balancing service. A healthy lawn is a balanced lawn, in several aspects, and any factors that lean outside of this balance can damage your lawn and detract from its ability to achieve healthy growth. To restore their lawns’ pH balances for overall, long-term health, residents in the Wheaton, Glen Ellyn, West Chicago, Winfield, Geneva and Lombard, IL areas turn to our proven lawn treatments.

Lawn Treatment with pH Balancing for a Healthy Lawn in Wheaton

Depending on the types of soils and plants, an ideal range for lawn maintenance is usually between 5.5. and 7.0. Scale: 7 is Alkaline.Acids and bases may not have crossed your mind since seventh grade biology, but these factors play a big part in determining the health of your lawn. A pH balance that falls within the appropriate range will ensure that your lawn is more receptive to other treatments and is able to utilize the tools it needs to obtain nutrients from the soil. Here are two of the main aspects of lawn care that our pH balancing lawn treatments address:

  • Lawn Diseases. Common lawn diseases can wreak havoc on your lawn. From copper spot to mildew and other diseases, symptoms can range from small spots to complete lawn devastation. When your lawn’s pH balance is off, it is weaker and more susceptible to developing a range of lawn diseases. Our pH balancing treatments will get your lawn to the optimum range using advanced products and compounds to fight off lawn diseases for a healthy, spot-free lawn.
  • Nutrient Utilization. Grass grows and stays healthy by utilizing the nutrients it gets from soil (which is why proper fertilization is also key). An out-of-balance pH will negatively affect your lawn’s ability to utilize these nutrients and grow. When we correct your lawn’s pH, it will regain its ability to fully utilize these nutrients for stronger, fuller turf growth.
