When to use lime:

• Sandy soil – improves structure and fertility
• Soil fungus – helps reduce proliferation
• Coniferous trees – helps balance soil pH, often acidified byconifer needles
• Fertilizer not providing great results – helps maximize plantnutrient absorption

Lime is great for almost every soil type. Talk to our team for advice on best practices. You can also send a soil sample to the lab for an additional fee if you would like to know the exact nutrient composition of your soil.

The best time to apply lime:

Lime can be added to your soil at two key times of the year for the best results. In the springtime, from the end of April to mid-June, and in the fall, ideally at the beginning of September.

Here's a Bastien tip to help you remember when to apply lime: When the kids finish school in June, it's no longer the best time to apply lime. It's best to wait until they go back to school in September. Then your lawn can take a break from lime, just like your kids are taking a break from school! It's a fun way to remember the best lime application times.
