Your lawn needs different treatments during the growing season to stay healthy, and lime is a great way to enhance that even more! Lime is a soil amendment that comes from natural limestone, which is ground down and made into a powder or granular form. These treatments are helpful for your lawn because they balance your soil's pH, making it more conducive for healthy grass growth. They also improve your turf's ability to absorb and intake nutrients and help prevent moss, which is a common issue in Washington. While spring is a popular time to apply lime treatments, you can do so at any time during the growing season.

Lime is a soil amendment that helps make soil conditions more conducive to healthy grass growth. Lime comes from natural limestone, which is ground down and made into a powder or granular form. Lime treatments also contain magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, which are necessary for addressing acidic soil. If your soil is too acidic, it can hinder your lawn's ability to absorb vital nutrients. These treatments help to balance the pH level of your soil, making it more neutral and better suited for growing healthy grass.

Why does your lawn need lime treatments?

The soil is the foundation of your lawn, and achieving optimal health starts from the ground up. Fortunately, that's where lime treatments come in! By balancing the soil's pH level and ensuring it's not too acidic, lime creates an environment where your grass can thrive. It does this by making essential nutrients more readily available to your lawn, allowing it to absorb and utilize them better. Not only that, but lime treatments also help prevent moss, which is a common issue in Washington! Moss tends to grow in acidic soil, providing a clear indication of unbalanced pH levels. With a lime treatment, you can ensure an environment that is less favorable for moss growth.

Lime treatments help prevent moss growth, which thrives in acidic soils.

When should you apply lime treatments to your lawn?

Spring is a popular time to apply lime treatments because it cultivates healthy soil conditions and improves nutrient access for your lawn as it transitions into the new growing season. Administering it during this time will also allow the product to seep into the soil and effectively correct its pH levels as your grass starts actively growing again. That way, it sets it up for a successful start to the season so that it thrives. However, you can apply lime at any time during the growing season to address any moss growth or when conditions deem it necessary.
