Question 1

How do I know if my lawn needs lime?

Accepted Answer

Common signs include moss growth, persistent weeds (especially clover), poor response to fertilizer, and a lawn that struggles no matter how much you water or feed it. A soil pH test confirms it for sure — and it's something we can check during a free lawn assessment.

Question 2

Can I apply lime myself?

Accepted Answer

While DIY options exist, professional application ensures correct dosage and even distribution for optimal results.

Question 3

How often should lime be applied?

Accepted Answer

Most New Brunswick lawns benefit from a lime treatment every 1 to 2 years, depending on soil conditions and how acidic the soil is to start. Over-applying lime can swing the pH too far the other way, which is why testing first matters.

Question 4

When is the best time to apply lime?

Accepted Answer

Lime can be applied in spring or fall, but fall is often ideal — it gives the lime time to work into the soil over winter and prepares your lawn for stronger spring growth.

Question 5

Is lime safe for kids, pets, and gardens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Lime is a natural soil amendment (essentially crushed limestone) and is safe for kids, pets, and surrounding plants once applied. There's no waiting period for re-entry like there is with some chemical treatments.
