When it comes to maintaining turf, science-backed solutions make all the difference. The Air2G2 isn’t just another aerator—it’s a game-changer for soil health and turf vitality. Unlike traditional methods that disrupt the surface, this innovative machine injects compressed air directly into the root zone, relieving compaction and enhancing soil structure with zero downtime.
Here’s why top turf professionals are making the switch.

Revolutionary Technology for Unmatched Results
The Air2G2 utilizes lateral air injection technology, delivering high-pressure air at depths of up to 12 inches. This process fractures compacted soil layers without surface disruption, allowing for:
Better Oxygen Exchange – Roots receive the air they need to thrive.
Improved Water Infiltration – Say goodbye to waterlogged or drought-stressed turf.
Enhanced Microbial Activity – Supports beneficial soil biology for long-term health.
This advanced method keeps turf playable while improving its overall resilience—something traditional aeration methods struggle to achieve.
Science-Backed Turf Benefits
Extensive research, including a study by the University of Georgia, proves the Air2G2’s effectiveness in maintaining healthier turf. Tests on TifTuf hybrid bermudagrass revealed:
25% Reduction in Surface Hardness – Even after 84 days, treated areas retained superior softness, making play more comfortable and reducing turf wear.
Stronger Root Systems – Unlike solid tine aeration, which can shear roots, the Air2G2 promotes deeper, denser root growth. After just 28 days, plots treated with Air2G2 showed a significant increase in root biomass, while untreated areas declined.
Superior Water Management – Treated areas showed dramatically improved water infiltration at 28, 56, and 84 days after treatment. This reduces runoff, minimizes dry spots, and ensures turf stays hydrated during peak seasons.
Sustainable Carbon Management – The Air2G2 helps turf retain carbon by reducing carbon efflux, lowering emissions associated with soil respiration and decomposition.
Real-World Success: Proven by Professionals
The Air2G2 is already making a difference at some of the world’s top golf courses and sports facilities:
Emirates Golf Club, Dubai – The Air2G2 plays a vital role in managing high-salinity soils on their world-class, 30-year-old push-up greens. With over 100,000 rounds of golf played yearly, its zero-disruption aeration ensures play continues uninterrupted.
Luxury Lawns, Scotland – A trusted contractor for golf greens and football pitches, Luxury Lawns found the Air2G2 essential for tackling compaction issues from heavy rainfall. Owner Donald Campbell calls it “the perfect tool” for maintaining strong root systems and draining surfaces.
Soldier Hollow & Wasatch Golf Courses, Utah – These multi-course facilities have reduced wetting agent use and improved water infiltration by incorporating Air2G2 into their aeration schedule.
Superintendent Nate James notes, “It’s just a no-brainer” for keeping greens in peak condition.
How Often Should You Use the Air2G2?
Research suggests that frequency depends on traffic and soil conditions:
Moderate Traffic – Monthly treatments maintain optimal conditions.
Heavy-Use Turf – Biweekly or weekly applications provide sustained relief.
Supplement to Core Aeration – Use between traditional aeration cycles to extend benefits.
Investing in Healthier Turf
The Air2G2 is an investment in long-term turf health and reduced maintenance costs. Facilities that adopt this technology report:
Lower maintenance costs – Fewer repairs, less overseeding, and reduced chemical use.
Time savings – Quick, efficient aeration without disruptive cleanup.
Environmental benefits – Reduced carbon emissions and better water efficiency.
Final Thoughts
Turf professionals worldwide are embracing Air2G2 for one simple reason—it works. Whether it’s a championship golf course, a busy sports field, or a municipal park, this non-disruptive aeration technology delivers results without the headaches of traditional methods.
The science is clear: Healthier soil, stronger turf, and better playability start with Air2G2.
