Turfgrasses can tolerate a very wide soil ph range, but they do best in one that is slightly acidic.

Turf grasses are beautiful grasses used as lawn grasses. These are dark green in color and grow densely. Turf grasses are tolerant species and can tolerate harsh environmental conditions. Turf grasses tolerate a wide pH range but do best in slightly acidic soils. Raising pH modifying the soil with agricultural lime, also known as calcium carbonate, can be used to raise pH Level.
