Soil Amendment / Lime Treatment
A low soil pH or acidic soil could be the cause of underlying lawn conditions. Often, a telltale sign is the light green color of the grass. Soil naturally becomes acidic over time and is quite common in this area based on the presence of oak and pine trees in our region. The soil pH rating of your lawn is one of the keys in keeping your turf healthy and beautiful.
Acidic soil (low pH) makes it difficult for grass to take in necessary nutrients and therefore decreases the effects of fertilizing. However, even healthy, green, lush lawns could have pH levels lower than ideal and a Lawn Amendment treatment of Lime could further improve your lawn's health & appearance. Everything about grass is better if your soils's pH level is correct! Grass will be greener; weeds will die easier; water absorbs better!
Simply The Best Lawns can provide a soil test upon request to determine if a Lime Treatment is necessary for your home or property. A Lime Application helps to neutralize acidic soil, which then allows the grass plants to better process nutrients. Keeping everything in its proper balance and providing you with Simply The Best Lawn.
You’re going to love your lawn and we guarantee it!

Frequently Asked Questions - Soil Amendment Lime Treatment
Why is soil pH important and how does it affect lawn health?
Soil pH is critical for maintaining a healthy lawn. Low soil pH or acidic soil, often indicated by a light green color of grass, can hinder grass from absorbing necessary nutrients and reduce the effectiveness of fertilizing. Acidic soil is common in areas with oak and pine trees. Adjusting soil pH is key to improving lawn health and appearance.
What are the benefits of lime treatment for lawns?
Lime treatment offers several benefits for lawns with low pH or acidic soil. It helps in neutralizing the acidic soil, allowing grass plants to better process nutrients. This results in greener grass, easier weed control, and better water absorption. Even lawns that appear healthy can benefit from lime treatment to optimize their pH level.
How does Simply The Best Lawns determine if lime treatment is necessary?
Simply The Best Lawns conducts soil tests upon request to determine if a lime treatment is necessary for your property. This assessment ensures that the treatment is tailored to your lawn’s specific needs, maintaining proper soil balance for optimal lawn health.
