Liquid Lawn Aerator, Loosens and Conditions Compacted Soil, 32oz

We recently moved into a new to us home (~10 years old), the front of the lot was sodded at original build and looks decent but the rear appears to be graded off clay, never even contractor seeded and was a dried up, cracked surface, washed out, dirt and weed dust bowl. I used the Amazon recommended Ortho hose end sprayer with the screen pulled out to apply (make sure the fluid is coming out dark otherwise something is blocking suction). I sprayed once without watering in due to time constraints. Waited 3 weeks, didn't really notice much of a difference. Sprayed it second time and watered it in manually after. A couple weeks after the second application I noticed that the ground was starting to soften, the cracks "healed", grass started growing on it's own in some of the barren areas, and I was able to use a greenworks scarifier to lightly till and level off the very bumpy surface that was rock hard before! I should be able to overseed this area effectively as part of a fall renovation so I'm extremely happy with this product. The amount of product received will last me a few years of multiple applications per year as well so it's a great value. Now that the ground is soft enough I should be able to alternate with mechanical aeration and with some other additives get this soil back up to par for a perfect lawn.

Not sure about this? I kinda see the soil in the area where I sprayed loosening. I just think I have to use again in the fall time, as my soil is a hard mix of soil and clay. It was super easy easy to mix and use. If you don’t get the mix correct (if it’s too strong), this will kill your grass.

I live in Colorado outside of Denver. We have really hard clay coil. We have lived in our home for 14 years. The grass in both our front and back yards (Mostly back) has been terrible over the years. The grass is green in the spring when we have cooler temperatures and a mix of snow and rain. Usually in the summer everything goes south. We have a downward slope in our back yard of about 13%. For years the water just seemed to run straight down and keep the grass closer to our house in decent shape. The grass in the back was like hay. Completely dried out and the ground was so hard it felt like I was walking on our driveway. It was the same in the front as well, just not as severe. Even if we got decent rain it still didn't look great, just better. I have been frustrated for years with this and just started looking for something to help our soil. I have aeration done usually once to twice a year. I got one of those manual aerators and that didn't pay off and man was it a lot of work. So this year I come across Lawnstar Liquid Soil Aerator. This stuff is just amazing. I wish I had taken before pictures where things were already getting bad back in June. I applied it around first or second week in June. It took several weeks to help (probably four or five), but now the yard looks better than I have ever seen it. The ground is much softer when I walk on it. I just can't believe it. I look out in the back and the grass is so green. It's green even all the way in the back where it would normally be like hay. I am going to use this stuff twice a year as recommended. Get this product. It's amazing. But give it several weeks to work. Also water as instructed at maximum 2-3 times a week. I don't think you will be disappointed. I am going to try their liquid dethatcher next to see how it works. I am so happy.

I wish I'd taken a before and after picture. While I can't expect much after one application (although I was), the change I noticed was minimum and there are still bare spots in the lawn. My home is a new construction home, sod was beautiful first year, the next year it became overgrown by weeds (I noticed the same throughout the subdivision). I treated the yard myself that year, next year consulted a professional. They helped with weed control but I noticed the yard/grass was compacted (and the company suggested aeration). Found this solution and gave it a try. I did notice a difference but not significant. But again, it was after only one application. So perhaps I'll give it another round, and report back.

We moved into a new house and started a lawn of centipede from pallets of grass. After 6 months I noticed gray areas that looked like the grass was not getting water from the sprinklers. I made adjustments and waited and the problem continued. I read up and large gray areas with centipede and it is due to hard soil with clay - go figure. This is the type of soil we planted over. After using the product over the areas, I see a tremendous difference. I would highly recommend this product.

10 days after the first application, our lawn looked thicker, greener and healthier. It really works.

Received it and it works well for my garden .

Had problems with lawn grubs last summer, which left many bald spots on my lawn. The soil in the bald spot areas was very dry and compacted which made planting new lawn seed a real challenge. The LawnStar Liquid Soil Aerator was very easy to apply with my pump garden sprayer and made a huge difference. The soil softened up enough to get a new establishment of lawn growth in the bald areas in less than a month. Would recommend, will buy again!
