To get the best results, we suggest scheduling aeration in the spring and fall. With our tailored approach, your lawn will receive the care it needs to thrive through every season.

“We tried your aeration and got better results than our previous service. We believe some of the different treatments you offer work better for us than the standard “Randy Lemon” process we were using.” -Jack E., Sugar Land, TX

Trusted Solutions for Chemical Binding

Soils in Texas often face challenges like high pH levels, salt accumulation, and excess bicarbonates that can stunt plant growth. These factors make it harder for plants to absorb water and nutrients effectively. Salt buildup reduces moisture getting to roots, while compacted soil blocks proper water and nutrient uptake. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we tackle these issues through liquid aeration. This cutting-edge process helps break down salts and bicarbonates, loosens the soil, and boosts nutrient absorption. By promoting beneficial microbial activity and improving soil health, liquid aeration paves the way for greener, thriving lawns. Discover the benefits of aeration, and let us help you rejuvenate your yard today.

Advanced Lawn Aeration

Aerating your lawn keeps it healthy and full of life. It boosts root airflow, improves water penetration, and reduces soil compaction, giving your grass the foundation it needs to grow thick and green. At GreenGate Turf & Pest, we understand the importance of aeration in creating a lawn that remains vibrant and resilient no matter the season.

Lawn Plug Aeration

Aerating your lawn promotes healthier soil by punching small holes in it, enabling better air and water circulation. While it benefits the surface soil, it typically doesn’t reach deeper layers. The process often leaves unsightly small plugs of soil all over the ground. Additionally, aeration can pose risks to underground infrastructure, such as sprinkler systems, buried wires, internet cables, or outdoor lighting fixtures.

GreenGate’s Liquid Super Aeration tackles Porter’s toughest soil issues, including compacted clay, high pH levels, and salt buildup.

Our Restore & Rejuvenate Program (R&R)

Revive your lawn with our specialized Lawn Restoration Program. This solution addresses challenges like compacted soil, pH issues, and excess salt. Our thorough four-part approach is the solution if your lawn shows signs of chemical stress. We start with core aeration to improve soil quality, then apply two high-quality granular treatments over five days. To complete the process, we utilize our advanced Super Aeration technique to ensure your lawn thrives.

  1. Our specialized granular blend contains ammonium sulfate to enhance soil health with similar advantages to compost. It delivers quick energy to turf microbes through complex carbohydrates, while diverse carbon sources provide consistent, long-lasting nutrients to maintain microbial activity. Essential minerals are included to replenish any missing nutrients in the soil, ensuring a balanced and healthy foundation.
  2. Our second granular product is a natural, effective solution for loosening compacted soils, aiding turf recovery, and improving overall soil health without relying on excessive nitrogen. Its cutting-edge formulation boosts soil oxygen levels, fostering a balanced nitrogen cycle with the help of beneficial microbes. At its core is 50% Eco-Lite, a premium zeolite mineral sourced from one of the purest deposits available. Renowned for its superior cation exchange capacity (CEC), Eco-Lite enhances soil structure by managing excess water, improving aeration, and gradually releasing moisture as the soil dries. It also captures and holds vital nutrients like nitrogen, potassium, and ammonium, supporting healthy soil and promoting robust, long-lasting growth and resilience.

Our Restore & Rejuvenate program is designed to outperform standard composting techniques. For optimal results, plan your treatments during the early spring or fall season. Whether your yard needs a light touchup or a full-scale revival, our tailored solutions ensure your grass stays healthy and vibrant.

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.
