Liquid Aeration

Although we recommend aerating your lawn anytime after the weather starts getting warm, we start our aerations in late April and May.

Liquid aeration is a non-invasive method and involves the application of a spray or solution directly onto the lawn. This approach contains soil penetrants or wetting agents that break down compacted soil and enhance water absorption. The convenience of applying it as a liquid makes it quick to apply and doesn’t leave soil plugs on the lawn, offering a non-intrusive alternative to traditional mechanical aeration methods.

Pros & Cons of Liquid Aeration

Liquid aeration is a very effective method of treating soil compaction and making sure your grass gets the nutrients it needs. However, it serves different purposes from core aeration. It’s important to know which treatment might be right for your lawn’s health. Here are a few pros and cons of liquid aeration.

Liquid Aeration

100% Coverage

Liquid aeration covers 100% of the area while core aeration can’t get to tight areas or places with shallow sprinklers and power lines.

Microscopic Treatment of Soil Particles

Liquid aeration uses organic material that treats even the smallest particles of your soil.

Additional Products Mixed in for Root Health

This treatment also uses bio-stimulants, soil conditioners, and fertilizer within the wetting agent.

No Damage to Tree Roots

With mechanical core aeration, there is a risk of the machine hitting shallow tree roots even with a 12″ buffer around the perimeter of obstacles.

No Risk of Damaging Sprinkler Heads

With liquid aeration, we don’t have to avoid or mark sprinkler heads as you would with traditional aeration.

No Risk of Damaging Sprinkler Heads or Shallow Fiber Lines

With liquid aeration, we don’t have to avoid or mark sprinkler heads or shallow internet fiber lines as you would with traditional aeration.

No Soil Plugs Left Lying Around

When finished, you won’t have any unsighlty soil plugs lying in your lawn.

More Affordable than Core Aeration

Liquid aeration takes less time to apply and therefore we’re able to pass the savings onto you.

Ineffective Against Heavy Compaction

Liquid Aeration does not physically remove soil and break it up as core aeration does. If you have a true compaction issue from foot traffic or heavy equipment rolling over an area of your lawn, please ask us for a recommendation for a core aeration service.

Aeration is Only the Beginning

Aerating your lawn is the most effective when there is a maintenance and health plan put into place for your lawn. When you create optimal soil conditions for the roots of your grass to grow deeper and absorb more nutrients, you do the same for other invasive weeds and plants. Additionally, if you want to make your soil more nutrient-conducive, then you should consider supplying the nutrients throughout the year as well.  With the Texas climate, it’s easy for our soil to not get the nutrients it needs for grass to thrive.

We encourage you to take a look at our lawn fertilization and weed control services to make sure your aeration services don’t go to waste.
