What are the benefits of a lime application?
Lime is a compound of calcium and magnesium – all natural and safe to walk and play on immediately after application! Lime naturally neutralizes – or “sweetens” – the acid in your soil. Acidic soil blocks the fertilizer from fully releasing to the grass plant. Soils that were once or are currently in dense pine tree areas are notorious for having an acidic level and so would benefit from a lime application. Lime can also improve the color and density of your lawn while also helping to control thatch and improve root development. It does, however, take time to reap the full benefits of a lime application – 6-12 months average. Lime is safe to have applied annually. The cost is minimal and it benefits ANY lawn!
