We Address Chemical Binding Issues in Your Lawn
Texas soils often struggle with issues like high pH, salt accumulation, and excess bicarbonates, which disrupt the soil’s chemistry and make it harder for plants to take in water and nutrients. Elevated salt levels limit root access to moisture, while compacted soil forms when particles are pressed too tightly together, blocking essential water and nutrients from reaching roots. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we solve these problems with liquid aeration. This cutting-edge method removes sodium and bicarbonates, improving soil structure and nutrient flow. By boosting microbial activity and replenishing nutrients, liquid aeration encourages deeper root growth and stronger, healthier plants. Learn more about aeration benefits and contact us today.
Advanced Lawn Aeration
Proper lawn aeration is vital to maintaining a vibrant, healthy yard. It helps boost oxygen to the roots, enhances water penetration, and breaks up compacted soil. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we know aeration is essential for building a resilient, flourishing lawn.
Lawn Plug Aeration
Lawn aeration comes with a few downsides. It may help improve soil health by creating small holes but only impacts the top soil layers. This process also leaves behind soil plugs that some homeowners consider unsightly. There’s always a risk of accidentally damaging underground systems during aeration, such as sprinkler lines, electrical wiring, internet cables, or outdoor lighting.

Learn About Our Restore & Rejuvenate Program (R&R)
Restore your lawn’s health with our exclusive four-part Lawn Recovery Plan, tailored to tackle problems like compacted soil, imbalanced pH levels, and excess salt buildup. The process is ideal for lawns suffering from chemical damage and begins with core aeration to enhance soil quality. Over the next five days, we apply two premium granular treatments and finish with our advanced Super Aeration method to rejuvenate and strengthen your lawn.
- Our unique granular formula features ammonium sulfate, offering a premium, compost-like solution in an easy-to-use format. It is packed with rich carbohydrates and provides an instant energy source to support healthy turf microbes. With multiple carbon sources, it ensures a steady, long-term food supply, encouraging sustained microbial activity. The added minerals also work to restore essential nutrients that your soil may have lost over time.
- Our second granular product is a powerful soil amendment that naturally improves compacted soils, promotes turf recovery, and boosts overall soil health without heavy nitrogen reliance. Its innovative formula raises oxygen levels in the soil and encourages a robust, microbe-driven nitrogen cycle. The product contains 50% Eco-Lite, a high-quality zeolite mineral sourced from one of the purest deposits available. Eco-Lite is known for its superior cation exchange capacity (CEC) and is pivotal in optimizing soil structure. This durable mineral absorbs excess water in overly saturated soils, improving aeration and gradually releasing moisture when the soil dries out. Additionally, Eco-Lite helps retain essential nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and ammonium, supporting stronger, healthier soil for long-lasting results.
Our Restore & Rejuvenate program can restore your lawn with exceptional care and results beyond basic composting. For the best outcome, schedule treatments in early spring or fall — perfect for lawns needing a little extra care. No matter the size or condition, every lawn thrives with the proper attention our R&R program delivers.

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.
