The Foundation of a Thriving Lawn

A beautiful lawn starts from the ground up. Without healthy, nutrient-rich soil, even the best grass varieties struggle to grow and thrive. At Pest Frog, we offer comprehensive soil health and conditioning services to improve soil structure, balance pH levels, and enhance nutrient absorption, ensuring that your lawn reaches its full potential.

Whether your soil is too acidic, too compacted, or lacking essential nutrients, our custom soil conditioning treatments help restore balance, improve fertility, and create the perfect environment for healthy grass and plants.

Why is Soil Health Important?

Boosts Lawn Growth

Provides essential nutrients and minerals for strong, vibrant grass.

Improves Water Retention

Helps soil retain moisture without becoming overly compacted.

Strengthens Root Development

Creates ideal conditions for deep, resilient root systems.

Enhances Fertilization Effectiveness

Ensures that your lawn absorbs nutrients efficiently.

Reduces Lawn Disease & Pest Problems

Healthy soil naturally repels pests and diseases.

If your lawn struggles to grow, has dry patches, or doesn’t respond well to fertilization, your soil health may be the problem—and Pest Frog’s expert soil conditioning services can help.

Our Soil Health & Conditioning Services

Soil pH Testing & Amendments

A balanced soil pH is critical for nutrient absorption. If your soil is too acidic or too alkaline, it can block essential nutrients from reaching your grass.

✔ Precise pH testing to diagnose imbalances
✔ Lime applications to raise soil pH (for overly acidic soil)
✔ Sulfur applications to lower soil pH (for overly alkaline soil)

By adjusting your soil’s pH levels, we ensure that your grass gets the full benefits of fertilization and proper nutrient absorption.

Compost Topdressing for Soil Enrichment

Adding organic compost to your lawn is one of the best ways to improve soil fertility and structure. Our compost topdressing treatments:

✔ Increase organic matter for improved soil texture and aeration
✔ Introduce beneficial microbes to promote soil health
✔ Enhance moisture retention for better drought resistance

By incorporating a thin layer of high-quality compost, we restore vital nutrients and create a healthier, more fertile lawn.

Gypsum Applications for Clay Soils

Texas soil is often heavy and clay-based, leading to poor drainage, compacted roots, and nutrient deficiencies. Gypsum is a natural soil conditioner that:

✔ Breaks up compacted clay soil for better drainage and root growth
✔ Loosens hard soil without altering pH levels
✔ Improves soil aeration, allowing grass to breathe and absorb nutrients

If your lawn has hard, compacted soil that doesn’t absorb water well, gypsum applications can dramatically improve its condition.

Organic Soil Conditioners for Long-Term Health

We use organic-based soil conditioners to enhance your lawn’s resilience and overall health. These treatments:

✔ Boost soil structure and nutrient availability
✔ Encourage deep root growth for stronger, healthier grass
✔ Help break down thatch buildup, preventing disease and pest issues

Organic soil conditioners are ideal for all soil types and work well alongside fertilization and aeration.

When Should You Improve Your Soil?

Spring (March – May)

Best time to test pH and apply soil amendments.

Summer (June – August)

Ideal for compost topdressing and gypsum applications.

Fall (September – November)

Great time for soil conditioning before winter dormancy.
For year-round lawn health, we recommend a customized soil care plan based on your lawn’s specific needs.
