If you want to maintain a healthy lawn in North Carolina or South Carolina, you need to ensure your soil is in good condition. That's where lime treatments come in. Lime is a soil amendment that comes from natural limestone, which is ground down and made into a powder or granular form to make it accessible to your grass. These treatments help balance your soil's pH levels by making it less acidic and improve your turf's ability to absorb and uptake nutrients. It's recommended to apply lime treatments in the summer, between July and August, or in the winter, in December, to ensure your lawn has the best conditions to grow healthy and strong.

What are lime treatments?

Lime treatments are a type of soil amendment that is made from natural limestone. The limestone is ground down and made into a powder or granular form, which is then applied to your lawn. These treatments also contain magnesium carbonate and calcium carbonate, which play a vital role in amending soil conditions. Lime treatments are used to adjust the pH level of your soil when it's too acidic by neutralizing it.

Why does your lawn need lime treatments?

Lush, green grass and plants in Charlotte, NC.

Your lawn needs lime treatments because they help to balance the pH level of your soil. When your soil is too acidic, it can prevent your turf from absorbing the nutrients it needs to grow. This can lead to weak, unhealthy grass that is more susceptible to stressors, like diseases and pests. Lime treatments reduce this acidity, making it easier for it to absorb the nutrients it needs to grow strong and healthy. They also help to improve the structure of your soil, allowing water and air to penetrate and reach the roots of your grass. As a result, your lawn has a better environment for developing roots and yielding resilient grass growth that can more easily combat stressors.

Lime treatments can help to improve the color and density of your grass, making it look fuller and more vibrant.

When should you apply lime treatments?

It's recommended to apply lime treatments in the summer, between July and August, or in the winter, in December. Applying lime treatments in the summer can help amend the soil and allow your grass to better uptake the nutrients it needs to recover from heat and drought stress. On the other hand, a lime treatment in the winter can help to prepare your lawn for the upcoming spring season, when it will start growing actively again. This ensures that your grass has an optimal environment to stay strong and healthy during the growing season.
