What is soil amendment?
Acidic soils, a myth or a reality?
Your soil’s pH fluctuates from week to week. These fluctuations are mainly caused by acid rain. To work effectively, your lawn’s root system needs to be in soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7.5. If that’s not the case, here is what your lawn will face:
- Roots will have difficulty absorbing nutrients in the soil
- Yellow patches may appear
- Weeds will settle more easily into your lawn
Fortunately, all our packages include a quantitative analysis of your soil’s pH so that we can make the right recommendations based on your specific soil type!
One of the best ways to avoid weeds
Soil amendment in 3 steps
Analysis of your soil’s pH
Our 3 packages offer a soil pH analysis service. To do this, one of our certified technicians takes data by inserting a pH meter at different locations on your property. These measurements allow the technician to evaluate the acidity and humidity of the soil and to verify if there is a large variation from one location to another.
Technician’s report
Once the lawn care services are completed, your technician will give you a personalized sheet that provides recommendations for your lawn, which can include sharpening your lawn mower’s blades, watering in a specific area, etc. This report will also indicate your soil’s pH as well as the locations where it has been checked on your property.
Soil amendment if needed
If the analysis reveals that the soil is too acidic, the technician will apply lime where necessary to restore the proper pH balance. Conversely, if the soil is too alkaline, sulfur will be used to restore the balance. If you think your soil is too acidic or too alkaline, opt for the cCurity package, which includes soil amendment.
