The family dog gets a lot of the blame in most situations, but what happens if you don\u2019t have a dog?<\/p>\n<p>Yellow grass can be caused by drought, insect damage, or disease. However, once these causes have been ruled out, there\u2019s still one potential cause of yellow grass remaining. Soil pH can contribute directly to the presence of yellow grass.<\/p>\n<p>As a <a href=\"\/southshore-ma\/\">Norwell lawn service<\/a>, we can promise you that grass is a very demanding crop to grow. It needs a very specific set of growth conditions in order to look its best. In terms of your soil\u2019s pH, it\u2019s important to understand that soils can vary quite a bit based on local conditions. Your soil might be too acidic \u2013 something to suspect if you have a lot of pine trees or oaks on the site \u2013 or too alkaline for optimal grass growth.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, you can have your soil\u2019s pH adjusted to allow for a lush, healthy green lawn. This is a somewhat complicated process, so it\u2019s a good idea to work with a professional lawn service specifically to make sure the right additives are chosen for your site and the application process is thorough and correct.<\/p>\n<p>If the grass you do have is yellow, it is an indicator that you\u2019ll want to have your soil pH checked. The fact the grass is yellow can be because the pH is too low or the pH is too high. If the pH was just right, the grass would be green.<\/p>\n<p>Here in Norwell, the fall is the best time of the year to handle pH testing and balancing. As an added bonus, fertilizer is most effective in pH balanced soil, so you\u2019ll get the full benefit of any fall fertilization you have done.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are frustrated because your lawn has large yellow patches, you\u2019ve probably heard many potential reasons why.
