Impact Aeration

Impact Aeration is designed for both commercial and domestic applications, to alleviate the effects of drainage or compaction problems, which lead to poor growth and condition of trees, lawns and planted areas.

Utilising bespoke German engineered technology, our skilled team operate a system powered by compressed air, that can improve the structure of soils without the need for major excavation, disruption, or visual disturbance to your grounds.

Aeration in soil, refers to the process of introducing air into the soil profile, crucial for plant growth. It enhances soil structure by preventing compaction, allowing roots to penetrate and access nutrients.

Adequate aeration facilitates microbial activity, promoting the breakdown of organic matter and nutrient release. This process also improves water infiltration and drainage, reducing the risk of waterlogged conditions. 

The Process

1. Insert injection tube into the desired working depth

2. Soil loosening through aeration

3. Improvement of the soil capillary

4. Optional: Introduction of soil additives

It’s a flexible aeration system giving more options than some of the more heavily marketed systems operated in the UK. It enables us to work both within the commercial and domestic sectors.

Impact Aeration uses a controlled charge of compressed air to ‘shatter’ compacted soils, re-opening the macro pore structure which will benefit naturally occurring mycorrhizal fungi, micro fauna and beneficial bacteria enabling them to recolonize the root zone that has been treated.

The re-opening of the macro pores will also assist with the movement of water through the soil, improving absorption of moisture in arid conditions and assisting with drainage in saturated situations.

The system introduces beneficial materials through the apertures created by the probe system, fine aggregate holds open the structure created to assist drainage.

Land drainage systems can be a more expensive and an invasive cure for waterlogged ground but are sometimes the only solution. We provide and install systems using ducting and soakaways.  Lawns may require returfing after installation but our experienced teams can usually replace lifted turf once work is completed.
