Elemental sulfur is required if your lawn just isn't growing the way you expect it too. We suggest getting a soil test before doing elemental sulfur since you'll be able to see if the pH is too. If the pH is over 8 then we recommend two treatments of elemental sulfur per season.

Edmonton’s Elemental Sulfur Services
Elemental sulfur services play a major role in ensuring your lawns pH is neutralized so that your lawn can utilize the fertilizer nutrients efficiently. Currently in Alberta and Western Canada, soils tend to be extremely alkaline with a pH over 8.0. In Eastern Canada it’s the opposite, the lawns are must more acidic, and lawn care companies tend to use lime to help balance pH. The ideal range for pH is between 6.5 to 7.5, lawns between that pH level tend to be much greener and thicker. If you’re lawn suffers from a pH problem, we recommend treating it with Elemental Sulfur twice per season every year until the pH becomes a neutral level. It’s important to note that changing the pH significantly does take time since this is a biological process (slower) instead of a chemical process (much faster). Typically, within one or two years your lawns soil will reach the proper pH, dependant on what the pH was to start with.
The Elemental Sulfur is a granular application that covers your entire lawn. After application it’s important to water it in so that the Elemental Sulfur and water will become sulfuric acid (very strong acid) and that will be embedded into the soil to help in lowering the pH. As you can see in the picture, lawns with pH below 6 or above 8 have a very tough time growing. The soil pH is one of the most overlooked metric that rarely gets talked about but it’s critical to make sure your lawn is the best on the block. At Yard Dawgs, we recommend doing a soil test first before applying Elemental Sulfur, therefore you can see what the pH was beforehand and track the progress year over year. You can also see that maybe the pH is in the normal range and you don’t actually need the Elemental Sulfur.

Yes. We recommend watering it in on the same day as the application. That was the sulfur can decompose, start to oxidize and neutralize the pH.
There are many benefits but the four main ones are:
