Why should I apply lawn lime?

Rain and regular fertilization gradually leach calcium from the soil. This causes the pH level to drop, and the soil becomes increasingly acidic. To correct this imbalance, regular liming is recommended.

To ensure you apply lime in a targeted manner rather than “on a hunch,” we recommend determining the pH level of your soil. You can do this either by using a simple pH Test at home, or—more precisely—through a professional soil analysis at a lab. You can easily request this type of analysis through our website, which will provide you with a reliable foundation for your future lawn care.

The ideal pH level for lawns is between 6.5 and 7. Within this range, grasses can absorb nutrients most effectively. If the pH level is below this range, the soil is considered acidic.

Soil that is too acidic is problematic because it promotes moss growth and lawn diseases. Certain weeds, such as sorrel, wood sorrel, and cornflowers, also thrive under these conditions. If these plants appear in greater numbers, it is often a clear sign that liming is necessary.
