Aeration also helps conserve water by reducing runoff and evaporation. For optimal results, we recommend aerating your lawn twice a year — once in the spring and again in the fall.

Professional Solutions for Chemical Binding
Texas soils often struggle with challenges like high pH levels, salt accumulation, and excess bicarbonates. All these issues can disrupt soil health and make it harder for plants to take in water and essential nutrients. High salt levels can limit moisture availability for roots, while compacted soil prevents water and nutrients from properly reaching plants. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we tackle these problems with liquid aeration. This innovative solution breaks down sodium and bicarbonates, improving soil structure and boosting nutrient absorption. By fostering microbial activity and encouraging nutrient flow, liquid aeration supports stronger root growth and healthier, more durable plants.

Advanced Lawn Aeration

At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we know that proper aeration is crucial to achieving a lawn that stays green and thriving throughout the year.
Lawn Plug Aeration
Lawn aeration offers benefits for soil health by creating small holes in the ground to improve air and water flow. However, its impact is mainly confined to the top layers of soil, and the process can leave behind small soil plugs that many homeowners may find unsightly. There’s also a risk of damaging underground systems, such as sprinkler lines, electrical wiring, internet cables, or outdoor lighting during aeration.

Our Restore & Rejuvenate Program (R&R) for Local Grass
Revive your lawn with our expert Lawn Restoration Program, tailored to tackle problems like compacted soil, pH imbalance, and excess salt buildup. Ideal for lawns under chemical stress, this comprehensive four-part program begins with core aeration to enhance soil quality. Over the course of five days, we apply two premium granular treatments and finish the job with our advanced Super Aeration process.
- Our unique granular formula features ammonium sulfate, offering a premium, compost-inspired solution. Packed with complex carbohydrates, it delivers an instant energy source to support thriving turf microbes. Multiple carbon sources ensure a steady, prolonged nutrient supply for sustained microbial activity. The added minerals also work to restore essential nutrients your soil may have lost.
- Our second granular product is a natural solution that revitalizes compacted soils, aids turf recovery, and enhances overall soil health without overusing nitrogen. Its innovative formula boosts oxygen levels in the soil, supporting a robust, microbe-driven nitrogen cycle. At its core is 50% Eco-Lite, a high-quality zeolite mineral sourced from one of the purest deposits available. Eco-Lite’s outstanding cation exchange capacity (CEC) is essential to improving soil structure. This durable mineral helps regulate excess water in overly saturated soils, improves aeration, and releases moisture slowly as the soil begins to dry. It also holds essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and ammonium, ensuring long-lasting, healthier soil that supports growth and resilience.
Give your lawn a fresh start with our Restore & Rejuvenate program, tailored to deliver results well beyond traditional composting. The best time to schedule your treatments is during early spring or fall for maximum impact. Whether your lawn needs a slight refresh or significant care, our program offers the expert solutions needed to help it thrive.

Advanced Lawn Aeration FAQ
Spring and fall are the best times to aerate your lawn in Houston. For springtime aeration, we recommend March and April. For fall time aeration, we recommend September and October. However, with GreenGates’ Advanced Lawn Aeration, you can successfully aerate your Houston lawn any time of the year!
To keep your turf looking and feeling its best, we recommend aerating your lawn twice per year, once in the Spring and again in the Fall.
Liquid aeration solutions contain a combination of minerals, essential nutrients, humic acids, and microbes that work to break down thatch and break up compacted soil naturally, allowing for nutrients and water to reach the roots of the grass.
GreenGate’s Advanced Liquid Lawn Aeration is a state-of-the-art aerating process that, due to being a liquid, can cover 100% of your lawn (rather than the typical 20% accomplished with an aerator machine). Just as legacy mechanical machines are intended, our liquid solution targets our tightly bound Houston soils and stimulates microbial activity by creating micro-tunnels throughout your soil, thus allowing for an increase in drainage and allow for nutrient and water absorption.
GreenGate’s Super Lawn Aeration is our state-of-the-art liquid aerating process PLUS a powerful de-thatching agent added to the mix, giving you double the thatch fighting power. Our Super Duper Lawn Aeration provides the same benefits as our Advanced Lawn Aeration and Super Lawn Aeration but adds a Granular Organic Biological Soil Amendment. that will act as a high-quality compost to assist in energizing and rejuvenating your soils microorganisms.
Absolutely! Plus, no risk of damage to your lawn or property from a giant aerator machine. Additionally, results are longer lasting.
There are several benefits of liquid over mechanical aerations. While both forms of aeration offer multiple benefits to your lawn, liquid lawn aerations have some other things to consider. Liquid solutions are not just creating holes (or plugs) but introducing vital nutrients into your soil, breaking down thatch, and creating a food source to stimulate essential microbes. Soil activity created by these microbes will result in micro-tunnels throughout your lawn, necessary for water and nutrients to reach the plant’s roots and drain when needed. Plus, no unsightly dirt nuggets are left behind to hang out on your lawn.
No two lawns are the same, but generally speaking, when applied during growing season you should see results within 2-3 weeks with our Super Aeration, and as little as a week with our Super Duper Aeration.
