Types of lime for lawns

If you've been wondering when is the best time to apply lime to a lawn, chances are you've heard of the practice but aren't sure why or when you should be doing it for the best results. 

As it happens, applying lime is a lawn care step that is season-specific.

Does lime kill grass

Liming at the wrong time of year will render the whole process useless. However, if you apply lime correctly and at the right time of year, you'll reap the benefits, which include better growth and thicker, greener grass in the new season. 

When is the best time to apply lime to a lawn?

The answer is: fall.

According to Jeremy Yamaguchi, the CEO of Lawn Love, applying lime to your lawn during the fall season as part of your autumn lawn care 'allows the lime time to break down into your soil. By the time spring comes around again, it will have reached your grass roots and you can enjoy the benefits of a beautiful lawn with a more balanced soil pH.'

If you forgot to do it in fall, you can still do it during a spell of mild weather in early winter as part of your winter lawn care.
