South Florida is known for its dry, sandy soil that is not the most suitable to growing beautiful lawns and ornamental landscaping. This is why soil amendments can be so beneficial to your Palm Beach County lawn. Ideally you want soil that drains well yet is plentiful in nutrients, something rarely found naturally in our area. Before any soil amendments are made, it is highly advisable to do a soil test to determine what nutrients are plentiful and which are lacking.
What is a Soil Amendment?
A soil amendment is anything added to your soil to improve its condition, whether it be nutritional content, pH levels or draining ability.
Proper soil amendments in Palm Beach County will positively modify pH levels in your soil, which in turn will improve nutrient absorption to your sod grass and ornamental landscaping. Much in the same way your swimming pool requires the proper pH levels for chlorine to work most efficiently, if your soil is too acidic or alkaline it will affect the nutrient benefits from fertilizer applications. In South Florida, it is generally recommended to have soil with a neutral pH between 5.5 and 7.0.
Even the Best Fertilizers Lose Effectiveness When Proper Soil pH Levels Are Ignored
