As lawn treatment specialists serving the Keller, TX area,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth can tell you that pH\u00a0simply indicates how acidic or alkaline your soil is. Grass roots take in nutrients, such as iron and nitrogen, when dissolved in water. If this mix of water and key essentials is too acidic or too alkaline, then the nutrients can&#8217;t dissolve properly, making them unavailable for uptake by grass roots.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, over time, your grass isn&#8217;t drawing\u00a0in enough nourishment to support healthy and robust growth. This impacts color, thickness, resistance to diseases, pests, and weeds, and more.\u00a0When pH is off, you might also\u00a0notice other issues, such as with moss and\u00a0grass that has yellow spots, or looks wilted or stunted.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Treatment: How pH Balancing in Keller Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/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\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"lawn treatment Keller pH Balancing infographic\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/keller-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/93\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>To check your soil&#8217;s pH level, all it takes is a simple test. With treatments from Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth, we will visit your lawn, take several soil samples throughout it, and then measure the pH level. Plants tend to grow best in soil that&#8217;s slightly acidic to neutral, meaning a range from 6.5 to 7.0, but between 6.0 and 7.0 is still within a healthy range. When the number is less than 6.0, your soil is too acidic, and\u00a0higher than 7.0 indicates too much alkalinity. Soils in Texas tend to be on the too-alkaline side of the equation.<\/p>\n<p>If your soil pH is outside the optimal range,\u00a0Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth can help with our balancing lawn\u00a0treatments. For alkaline soil, we will deliver a mixture of sulfur and water to lower the pH level. For soil that&#8217;s too acidic, lime amendments will be added to your soil to raise the pH.<\/p>\n<p>Once your soil&#8217;s pH is restored, you can expect:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Improved absorption of fertilizer, leading to better growth and color<\/li>\n<li>Fewer weeds and funguses to contend with thanks to boosted\u00a0resistance<\/li>\n<li>Less thatch growing over the surface of your soil, which can compress growing grass<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth: Get Started Today<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>At Lawn Doctor of Keller-Southlake-NW Fort Worth, our lawn treatments provide the solution\u00a0to a variety of lawn care challenges, including issues with pH levels in your soil.
