OVERVIEW

Our Lime treatment will help to condition your soil by re-balancing it’s pH level. The pH level measures the amount of Hydrogen ions in the soil. Soil that has been affected by environmental factors and over-treatment of chemicals in the past begins to leach micro-nutrients from the soil which are replaced by Hydrogen ions.  This prevents proper usage of nutrients by the root system. Turfgrass normally thrives at a pH level from 6.5 to 7.2.

WHO NEEDS IT?

• Customers who routinely have their lawn looked after by a lawn care company
• Lawns that have become chemically dependent
• Lawns that have high amounts of moss or mildew caused by acidic soil
• Lawns that are not as green as their potential

HOW OFTEN?

Liming should be done as dictated by the soil conditions.  The more finely ground the limestone the better it's acid neutralizing ability.  LawnSavers uses a very finely ground particle size to speed up the effect on the soil.  Regular liming will create better soil conditions over time. Ask your LawnSavers technician for their advice.

BENEFITS

By re-balancing the pH level in the soil, your lawn’s roots will increase their capacity to absorb nutrients such as iron, calcium, magnesium and potassium and break them down more effectively.

This will increase their usefulness to your lawn (especially iron) which aids in photosynthesis. The result is a greener thicker lawn.

Moss tends to grow only in lawns that are very moist and very shaded. Poor air circulation or where the pH level has become more acidic is also a contributing factor.  Repeated applications of Lime will reduce soil acidity and the ideal habitat of moss, over time.

Liming increases the activity of micro-organisms in the soil which helps decrease thatch.
