Wetting Agents (surfactants)

Use of a wetting agent product will improve your lawns ability to utilize rainfall and supplemental irrigation. Many lawns in our area grow in heavy soil types. Clay soil is great for holding moisture however if it is allowed to dry out, these soils can become hydrophobic. A soil that repels water will lead to surface run-off and an increase in evaporative loss. A wetting agent serves to reduce the soil’s surface tension. This allows for water to more rapidly penetrate the surface and make its way to the lawn’s root-zone. This can result in a reduced water bill as well as improved turf quality thru the summer months. We perform these treatments before summer drought conditions arrive, typically making the first application late may-early June, with follow up treatments monthly. (May, June, July, September)

This product requires being thoroughly watered in with a garden hose or irrigation system following treatment.
