Lime & Lawns: What You Need to Know

Soil acidity can significantly affect grass health. If your lawn suffers from poor color, slow growth, or weak roots, it may be time to add lime.

  • What is Lime? Pulverized limestone that raises soil pH and provides calcium (or magnesium with dolomitic lime).
  • Why Apply It? Ideal pH (6.0–7.0) improves nutrient availability.
  • When to Apply? Any time of year—though spring and fall are most common.
  • How Much? A soil test will determine the correct amount.

We recommend pelletized lime for easy, dust-free application.
