Benefits of liquid aeration vs core aeration #734288

Asked November 21, 2020, 2:31 PM EST

I've been researching the pros/cons of liquid aeration vs core aeration after our lawn care company switched to this method. I would like your professional opinion.

Thank you very much.

Hello
Colorado State University does not currently recommend chemical aeration as a replacement for core aeration. While the application of wetting solutions may be beneficial for soil absorption there is no evidence that it reduces soil compaction. Here is a short document that addresses the question.https://planttalk.colostate.edu/topics/lawns/1545-liquid-lawn-aeration/
I hope this helps.
