As local lawn treatment experts in the Mansfield, TX area, we know that\u00a0like humans, grass plants have precise nutritional needs. For optimal health, they have to be able to absorb the right amount of nutrients, such as nitrogen and potassium,\u00a0from the soil. However, if the pH level of the soil is out of balance \u2013 and it’s too acidic or alkaline \u2013 then it\u00a0hinders\u00a0nutrient availability. That means key essentials for plant health and growth cannot be taken in by grass roots and your lawn will develop deficiencies and vulnerabilities, as a result.<\/p>\n

So if you’re seeing issues with wilting grass, yellowing color, spreading moss, weeds, and disease, and you’re not sure why, there’s a chance the pH level is the culprit. The good news is that there is an easy way to check pH and amend it if necessary. It’s with\u00a0Lawn Doctor of South Fort Worth & Mansfield’s pH balancing lawn treatments.<\/p>\n
