Experts in Resolving Chemical Binding

Texas soils tend to have high pH levels, salt buildup, and excess bicarbonates, all of which can hinder plant growth. These issues can make it harder for plants to take in water and essential nutrients. Salts can limit moisture availability to roots, while compacted soil prevents proper water and nutrient absorption. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we address these problems using liquid aeration. This innovative method breaks down sodium and bicarbonates, improves soil structure, and enhances nutrient absorption. By increasing microbial activity and improving nutrient flow, liquid aeration creates healthier, more vibrant lawns.

Advanced Lawn Aeration

Lawn aeration is essential to maintaining a healthy, vibrant yard. By improving root airflow, enhancing water absorption, and relieving soil compaction, aeration helps your grass grow stronger and greener. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we know how essential aeration is for achieving a lawn that stays lush and thriving year-round.

Lawn Plug Aeration

Lawn aeration improves soil health by creating small holes in the ground, allowing air and water to flow more freely. While it can enhance the topsoil, its impact rarely extends to deeper layers. The process often leaves behind small soil plugs that homeowners find unsightly. There’s also a risk of the aeration process damaging underground systems like sprinkler lines, electrical wiring, internet cables, or outdoor lighting.

Our Restore & Rejuvenate Program (R&R)

Our expert Lawn Restoration Program is designed to tackle common issues like soil compaction, pH imbalance, and salt buildup. If your lawn struggles with chemical stress, our comprehensive four-step process can help. It begins with core aeration to boost soil health, followed by two premium granular treatments spaced over five days. We finish with our cutting-edge Super Aeration method to deliver exceptional results and bring your lawn back to life.

  1. Our unique granular formula features ammonium sulfate, offering a premium solution designed to improve soil health inspired by the benefits of compost. Complex carbohydrates provide an instant energy source to support thriving turf microbes. Multiple carbon sources ensure steady, long-term nutrient delivery to sustain microbial activity. Vital minerals also restore any nutrients your soil may be missing.
  2. Our second granular product offers a natural and powerful way to improve compacted soils, support turf recovery, and enhance overall soil health — all without overusing nitrogen. Its innovative formula increases soil oxygen levels, promoting a balanced nitrogen cycle supported by beneficial microbes. This product’s core is 50% Eco-Lite, a high-quality zeolite mineral sourced from one of the purest reserves available. Eco-Lite is known for its exceptional cation exchange capacity (CEC). It improves soil structure by managing water in overly wet conditions, enhancing aeration, and slowly releasing moisture as the soil dries out. It also retains essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and ammonium, helping sustain soil health while encouraging strong, long-term growth and resilience.

Our Restore & Rejuvenate program delivers results beyond traditional composting methods. For the best outcomes, schedule treatments in early spring or fall. Whether your lawn requires minor care or significant restoration, our expert solutions will help your grass thrive and look its best.

Advanced Lawn Aeration FAQ

When is the best time to aerate my lawn?

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! 

 

How often should my lawn be aerated?

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. 

What is liquid lawn aeration and how does it work?

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.

What is GreenGates Advanced Lawn Aeration?

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. 

What is the difference between the Advanced Lawn Aeration, Super Lawn Aeration, and Super Duper Lawn Aeration?

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.

Does liquid lawn aeration actually work?

Absolutely! Plus, no risk of damage to your lawn or property from a giant aerator machine. Additionally, results are longer lasting. 

What are the benefits of liquid aeration over mechanical plug aeration?

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.

How long after aerating will I see results?

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.
