Installing a new lawn is an opportunity to amend the soil. Proper soil preparation will affect the lawn’s health and ease of care for many years. By adding amendments (organic matter, lime, phosphates, etc.) to the soil and working them in, the ideal soil structure, pH, and nutrition for growing turfgrasses can be achieved. Once a lawn is in and growing, changing soil structure is nearly impossible. Lawn grasses will grow in soils of poor structure and fertility, but quality will suffer.
