PH Balancing & Lime from Lawn Doctor of DeSoto County

Turf grass is ideally grown in a slightly acid soil, and soil acidity is measured by a number called pH.

Soil pH must be in the optimum range to insure maximum nutrient availability. When a soil becomes too acid or alkaline, some nutrients used by the grass plant become unavailable. Soil pH balancing naturally brings the pH (acidity) level in balance with recommended levels for healthy lawns; slows thatch build-up, which can choke growth and reduce turf density; increases the effectiveness of fertilizer, by making it more readily available to the grass plants, and reduces the possibility of lawn fungus problems.

Many lawns need pH balancing applications, so this treatment is included in a regular Lawn Doctor program.
