Our Lawn Care Services Include Maintaining a Proper pH Balance and Applying Lime for a Beautiful, Green Lawn
The Right pH Balance is Vital for a Deep Green Lawn
A healthy and vibrant green lawn is every homeowner’s dream. Lawn Doctor knows that the healthiest and greenest lawns begin with healthy soil and the right pH balance. Since turf grass grows best in slightly acidic soil, Lawn Doctor is committed to ensuring that each of the lawns we serve maintains the proper pH balance. The optimum pH range for lawns is 6.5 to 7.0.
Adjust Soil Acidity and Realize a Healthier, Greener Lawn
Generally, lawns in our area will need to adjust soil acidity at least every other season. Lawn Doctor’s trained lawn care specialists will ensure that your lawn’s soil acidity is at the optimum range of 6.5 to 7.0. When soil acidity is out of balance, Lawn Doctor quickly and easily makes the necessary adjustments. When the soil pH is below 6.5, our technicians respond with a carefully-formulated lime application. If the pH level is above 7.0, a sulfur application is applied.
Lime Restores Soil Acidity
The health, beauty and color of your lawn are highly dependent on the proper pH balance of the soil. Lime will restore the necessary acidity to soil and help foster healthier grass plants and many other benefits like improved nutrient absorption, reduced fungus problems, improved fertilizer effectiveness, increased disease resistance and reduced thatch build up.
