\"extremely<\/strong>Want a healthy lawn? Then soil conditions need to be just right. If they’re not, grass roots can’t grow strong and deep, nor can they support thick grass\u00a0and bold color. To get soil into the best shape possible, Lawn Doctor of Clarksville-Nashville offers local homeowners<\/a> in the\u00a0Clarksville, TN area a variety of lawn care services. Here’s a look at a few related terms so you know what they are and why they’re important:<\/p>\n

Acidic:\u00a0<\/strong>Most grasses thrive in a pH range between 6.0 and 7.0. Below 6.0 is too acidic and\u00a0means roots can’t take up the right level\u00a0of nutrients necessary to thrive. An application of lime can help offset acidic soil.<\/p>\n

Alkaline:<\/strong>\u00a0A\u00a0soil\u00a0with a pH number above 7.0\u00a0is alkaline, also limiting nutrient availability. When conditions are too alkaline, an application of sulfur can raise the acidity.<\/p>\n

Core aeration: <\/strong>The process of removing plugs of soil and thatch to ease soil compaction and reduce surface thatch. This enables more air, water, and nutrients to get absorbed into the root system, supporting better growth.<\/p>\n

Fertilization:\u00a0<\/strong>The act of treating lawns with key nutrients, including nitrogen, potassium, and phosphorous, in order to support healthy growth, color, and resistance to weeds and pests.<\/p>\n

pH balancing:\u00a0<\/strong>pH\u00a0stands for “potential of hydrogen” with values ranging from\u00a01 to 14. When soil in your lawn\u00a0is outside a healthy pH range,\u00a0treatments are needed to restore\u00a0balance and create\u00a0an optimal growing environment.<\/p>\n

Soil enrichment:<\/strong>\u00a0A process that enhances the quality of soil by adding in various natural materials, including microbes and organic supplements. The purpose of this treatment is to\u00a0promote overall soil health and support better plant growth.<\/p>\n
