Gypsum or Lime:
Even if you're doing everything you can, nature can still be working against you. In an ideal world, your soil's pH would be sitting at a comfortable 6.5, but that isn't always the case. Thankfully, Rettmann Outdoor Services has the fix for you! An application of lime is a great way to achieve a healthy pH.
This raises the soil pH to a desirable range and significantly improves lawn's health and vitality. This helps the grass fully utilize all the available nutrients, plus micronutrients. It helps sod recover from salt damage and dog urine spots. By raising the pH, we can also create a more difficult condition for weeds to grow. This especially helps us fight off Creeping Charlie.
A soil pH test is available if needed at no additional cost. A visual assessment is often sufficient to be able to tell if the pH is too low. If you're unsure what your soil's acidity is, Rettmann Outdoor Services would be happy to find out for you! Give us a call today and our technician will come by for a consultation at your earliest convenience.
