Proper soil acidity will have long-term positive effects on your lawn.
A beneficial service that Deluxe Lawnscapes often recommends to check the pH of your soil, is a soil amendment.
Soil pH is an important factor when it comes to grass, trees and shrubs’ ability to grow and thrive. Soil pH is a measure of a sosoil’selative acidity or alkalinity. Soils with an elevated pH (alkaline soils) or a pH that is too low (acidic soils) restrict a plant’s ability to utilize any nutrients applied to the lawn. Lime or sulfur are common soil amendments applied to lawns and landscape areas to modify the soil pH.
After soil amendments are applied to your lawn, it is better able to utilize the nutrients from our professional fertilizers.
Most grass types grow best when they have a pH between 6 and 7. If your pH is below 5.5, lawn growth gets stunted, and the health of the lawn can be compromised. Adding lime to your lawn will reduce soil acidity.
This service will have a nearly immediate effect on the health and appearance of your lawn.
