As the Wayne, NJ area&#8217;s choice for lawn treatments,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey can tell you that the\u00a0same is true for soil pH. Without the right levels, nutrients, and other lawn care materials cannot be optimally absorbed, impacting the health and growth of your grass. That&#8217;s where pH testing and balancing services come in.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Wayne&#8217;s Lawn Treatment Experts\u00a0Explain: How pH Balancing Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you suspect your soil is too alkaline or too acidic, we can come out to test it and check it. We start the process by clearing away grass, thatch, and rocks\u00a0from a small area, then taking a sample of the soil around two to three inches deep in order to test the root zone. We will repeat this test in several small areas throughout your lawn to get the most accurate picture possible of the pH level.<\/p>\n<p>Generally speaking, the soil pH level should be anywhere from 6.0 to 7.0. If your pH level is below 6.0, the soil is too acidic; a number higher than 7.0 indicates it&#8217;s too alkaline. However, when it&#8217;s in the 6.0 to 7.0. range \u2013 optimally around 6.5 \u2013 it provides conditions\u00a0for the best nutrient uptake.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-107 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"ph balancing lawn treatment Wayne Infographic \" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/butler-nj\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>In cases when your soil pH is too low, we can apply lawn treatments of\u00a0lime to bring it back into balance. For those instances when it&#8217;s too high, a combination of sulfur and water lowers the pH range.\u00a0Some grass types tolerate more acidic or alkaline soils; so it&#8217;s important to work with a lawn professional \u2013 like those at\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Wayne and Northern New Jersey \u2013 who will know what pH level your soil needs to be to best support the grass varieties growing in it.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond optimal\u00a0nutrient absorption, some\u00a0of the other benefits of ensuring your soil is properly balanced include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Greener color, thanks to more nutrients reaching grass roots.<\/li>\n<li>Less build-up of surface thatch, which can suffocate grass and thin out your lawn, making it more susceptible to weeds and pests.<\/li>\n<li>Fewer problems with funguses and other common lawn diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Treatments in the Wayne Area: Learn More About pH Balancing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Your soil&#8217;s pH level is key to the health and appearance of your lawn overall.
