Best Lawn Aeration Tomball

Q: 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.

The best lawn aeration by GreenGate Turf will have your Tomball lawn looking and feeling its best before you know it! The first question from our customers is always, “When is the best time to aerate my lawn?” Spring and fall are the best time to aerate your lawn in Tomball. 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 Tomball lawn any time of the year!

Children playing on the grass and lawn mowers will undoubtedly add minor compression, but that is not the primary cause of our rock-hard compacted Tomball soils. The best aeration will address the root causes of compacted soils.

Tomball turfs require lawn aeration because the soils are chemically bound together, causing EXTREMELY compacted dirt. This “chemical binding” directly results from high salt content and pH levels found in our Tomball yards.

Old school lawn aerators historically have been better than nothing. However, aerating your lawn with a plug-style lawn aerator only covers about 20% of your actual lawn. Plug aerators also do nothing to address Tomball’s soils’ number one problem, chemically bound soil.

The best lawn aeration service is Advanced Lawn Aeration by GreenGate Turf

Did you know Tomball’s average soil pH Level is 7.74?? That’s really high and is the number one reason Tomball soils are so tightly compacted.

Liquid lawn aeration creates tiny 6″ pathways deep into the soil, delivering oxygen, moisture retention, and nutrients to the roots. With liquid aeration, the soil structure is split at a much smaller scale, allowing for deep penetration of water; roots will, in turn, follow, making nutrients available that were previously unreachable by the plant.

Our liquid aeration service does so much more than just the typical aeration basics.

GreenGates Liquid Aeration also sequesters excess sodium and bicarbonates in the soil root zone, pulling them out of the soil and away from the root system, releasing valuable nutrients. Without breaking these bonds, the root system has no way of accessing what it needs most to thrive. This binding effectively chokes off the water, nutrients, and oxygen vital to Tomball grasses like St Augustine and Bermuda.

Next Generation Lawn Aeration

While excess sodium and bicarbonates are being pulled away, our advanced products are also busy stimulating aggressive root growth, so they grow down and out. Roots that are deeper and wider can find more moisture and oxygen making for a much healthier plant. With the best lawn aeration in Tomball, we can cover every square inch of your yard, not just the 20% you would get with a plug-style lawn aerator. Unique to our liquid aeration is that each aeration application builds on top of the last; this is called “Stacking.” To maximize the benefits of lawn aeration, we recommend two aerations per year.

Liquid lawn aeration helps to amplify GreenGates quality carbon-based fertilizers, or any fertilizer, for that matter. However, there are drawbacks to lawn aeration in Tomball when using a machine to “pull plugs.” As wonderful as this can be for the soil, it is only effective to about 2.5 inches deep and leaves messy “soil sausages” on top of the turf.

Mechanical lawn aeration only covers about 20% of the lawn, leaves a mess, and does nothing to break down the chemical bonds (the real compaction culprit) from high salt and ph levels. Additionally, your sprinkler heads, phone lines, high-speed internet lines, outdoor lighting, etc., are all at the mercy of the machine and operator. With GreenGates liquid aeration, there will be no need to mark sprinkler heads, cable lines or invisible fences.

Greengate’s basic liquid lawn aeration will break nutrient bonds in our challenging Tomball soils and make available a food source for microbial populations. With current Tomball water restrictions, this is even more beneficial to maximize water usage and lessen runoff and evaporation.

Our liquid aeration process will give you the breakthrough with your Tomball lawn you’ve been looking for.

Our Advanced Liquid Lawn Aeration includes:

Our State Of The Art Liquid Aeration

Super

Lawn Aeration

GreenGate’s Super Liquid Lawn Aeration is our state-of-the-art liquid aerating process PLUS a POWERFUL de-thatcher added to the mix. Thatch build-up on our Tomball lawns is directly related to an imbalance of carbon to nitrogen ratio typically found in national franchises and discount company programs. Our de-thatcher works not only to break down and thin out thatch but to turn it into a readily available food source for your St Augustine or Bermuda grasses.

During Tomball’s growing season, you will see a noticeable greening of your turf a week or so after our application. Our advanced product focuses on composting thatch faster by encouraging microbial activity at the soil surface & increasing heat. This exothermic release by increased soil activity will break down thatch from the soil level up. Thatch is quickly reduced & the organic matter is recycled as a food source. As an added benefit, this reduction in thatch also helps to remove spawning locations for lawn-damaging insects and fungus.

Lawn Aeration

Tomball’s Best Lawn Aeration Value and a Client Favorite!

GreenGate’s Super Duper Liquid Lawn Aeration is a scientifically advanced process to supercharge your turf and turf roots and break through Tomball’s rock-hard soils. Our Liquid Aeration will open up your soils and greatly expand root volume even in the poorest Tomball soils, while our de-thatcher will compost the thatch between your soil and grass. Lastly, our heavily applied biological granular product will be the compost that energizes and rejuvenates your soil’s microorganisms.

The stimulated microbes will immediately begin aggressively breaking down the soil, destroying chemical bonds. This process easily replaces legacy mechanical aeration w/a traditional compost but applied at a far more budget-friendly price. This is an EXCELLENT springtime jump start & works really well to bring back Tomball lawns with acute stress. This may also be used with excellent results for fall dormancy preparation.

Our Super Duper Aeration includes all three applications with each visit below that all work together, giving Tomball the VERY best aeration available on the market today.

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, you should see results within 2-4 weeks.

Local info

TOMBALL WEATHER

Tomball is a city in Harris County in the U.S. state of Texas, a part of the Houston metropolitan area.
On May 27, 1933, the Humble Oil Company struck oil southwest of town, earning Tomball the nationally recognized nickname of “Oiltown USA.” Humble Oil Company, now known as Exxon, and more than 20 other energy companies worked the fields around the City for many years, producing more than 100 million barrels of oil.
Thomas Henry Ball, an attorney for the Trinity and Brazos Valley Railroad, convinced the railroad to run the line right through downtown Tomball. Soon after, people came in droves to this new train stop. Hotels, boarding houses, saloons, and mercantile stores all began to spring up in the area. At first, people called the area Peck, after a chief civil engineer of the railroad line. However, on December 2, 1907, the town was officially named Tom Ball, later to be shortened to one word, for Mr. Ball.
As of the 2020 United States census, there were 12,341 people, 4,516 households, and 2,678 families residing in the city.
