Frequently Ask Questions

• Mechanical aeration doesn’t do anything to change the soil structure (Jar of Sugar and Marbles), it just pokes holes in the soil.
• Since GreenAer is a liquid, it covers the entire lawn. Mechanical aeration only pokes holes in 3-5% of the lawn at best. Meaning GreenAer effects the entire lawn.

• Yes, we’ve done testing and it is. With that said, still tell customers, like all other of your treatments, to stay off the lawn till it is dry.
• As for the lawn techs, you might find that the constant over spray on your boots or if you get some on your hands it may feel tacky, that’s just how it is. It is not hazardous.

Nope. There is a slight amber color in the concentrate but once mixed with water it’s virtually clear. We’ve been selling it for 15+ years and tens of thousands of gallons have been applied and never had an issue with staining concrete of any type.

• Always a tough one to answer since a lot of factors play into it, mainly watering, but the first signs of it working will be in the worst places in 30-60 days (nothing in soils change quickly). Low lying areas that hold water for long periods of time will start to drain faster and bald areas with warm season grass, will see if spread back into those areas in that timeframe.
• The biggest thing is telling customers you will see those specific issues get better in the 30-60 days’ timeframe and they will see overall improvement in the health of the lawn over the next year. With that said, the biggest improvements you get from GreenAer is the next year after making another treatment and so on. The reason is that when you make an application the second year, the soil is in much better shape than when you made the very first treatment. GreenAer is not a one treatment and done, it works better every year you put it on. So, make sure you let them know to keep taking the application every year.

Nothing! No chewed-up turf or plugs laying on the ground. Much like a normal liquid treatment, there isn’t any change in appearance, for now. If you are concerned about the customer not seeing anything, you can either add a marking dye or an iron amendment to get a good pop of color in a few days.

Yes. Much of what gypsum or calcium does to combat soil compaction, GreenAer does and then some. The biggest difference is how much faster and more complete GreenAer will reduce compaction. Gypsum and calcium product take a long time to break down enough for the soil to absorb and use them.

Put simply, all the other liquid aeration products can give some minor and short-term relief but don’t fix the actual issue of soil compaction. They put a band-aid on the problem, GreenAer fixes the problem.

One application of GreenAer will improve your compacted soils but won’t cure it completely. Also, most of the factors that caused the soil compaction in the first place won’t go away either (like foot traffic). Yearly applications will reduce soil compaction further down into the ground and then will keep it that way.

GreenAer will not harm any plant material. GreenAer stays in the soil and is not absorbed by plant roots or tissue.
