But as lawn treatment professionals in Madison, MS, Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland knows if it&#8217;s too acidic or alkaline, you&#8217;ll quickly notice. In fact, you&#8217;ll notice signs of\u00a0weak or wilting grass, growing moss, and more weeds and diseases in your lawn.<\/p>\n<p>This happens because pH impacts nutrient uptake. If it&#8217;s not balanced, nutrients aren&#8217;t available in the soil for grass roots to absorb. Over time, your lawn will develop deficiencies that make it more vulnerable to a host of issues. That&#8217;s where pH balancing comes in.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Treatment: How pH Balancing in Madison Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We offer pH balancing as a service from our lawn experts. With this solution, we will test your soil to check the level and make sure it&#8217;s within a healthy range. Testing is simple and involves taking soil samples from a few spots in your lawn. One of our technicians will remove grass, thatch, and stones from several small\u00a0areas, then sample into\u00a0the root zone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/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\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg\" alt=\"ph balancing lawn treatment for Madison\" width=\"300\" height=\"244\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-768x626.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage-1024x834.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lawndoctor.com\/madison-ms\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/213\/2016\/01\/PHbalancingimage.jpg 1381w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Your soil\u00a0pH range should be within the 6.0 to 7.0 range; although 6.5 to 7.0 is ideal since grass grows best in slightly acidic soil. If results are outside those numbers, we can apply lawn treatments to restore an optimal pH level. This includes lime when soil pH is below 6.0, indicating it&#8217;s too acidic. For results above 7.0, meaning your soil is too alkaline, we&#8217;ll apply a mixture of water and sulfur.<\/p>\n<p>When your soil pH is where it should be, there are a variety of benefits:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Grass can make the most of fertilizer applications without waste.<\/li>\n<li>Since nutrients are now available for absorption, your grass will grow in healthier and stronger.<\/li>\n<li>Your lawn will experience\u00a0improved resistance to weeds, pests, and diseases.<\/li>\n<li>There will also be less surface thatch, which can choke out growing\u00a0lawns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>Lawn Treatment:\u00a0100% Guaranteed for Local Customers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Lawn Doctor of Brandon-Madison-Ridgeland offers a variety of lawn treatments \u2013 including pH balancing and testing \u2013 to local customers.
