Lime Our soils in the Puget Sound region become acidic due to the amount of rain we receive. By liming the turf, we neutralize the acidity, building a better lawn and a stronger competitor for weeds, moss and pests. Weed Management Weeds can be better controlled in the lawn by building a thick, vigorous stand of grass plants, inhibiting weed seed germination. Human beings hate weeds. We dislike them so much that most people can probably name more weed types than grass varieties.
Weeds are the toughest pests to control organically, because most weeds are very successful plants .
When the environment is favorable for good plant growth, weeds also excel. Mother Nature wants diversity in her natural pattern. Her plan also includes thinning out the weak and sickly. If lawns are thin and unhealthy, stronger weeds waste little time in overpowering the area. Our clients' tolerance of weeds and the use of herbicides vary greatly.
