Add lime to it. This is a common practice in farming.
To neutralise a sample of soil, you must determine the pH of the soil sample either acidic or alkaline. Add lime (e.g. Limestone) to acidic soil to neutralise it. And add sulphur to alkaline soil which will neutralise it.

The farmers put lime water on acidic soil.
Many plants do not do as well in acidic soil. The lime makes the soil less acidic, or even basic.
Treating the lawn soil with agricultural lime will balance out the acidic properties. Lime is an alkali, and will neutralise the acidity.
Lime, eggshells and oyster shells are good ways to neutralize soil pH (make an acidic soil more alkaline).
