Wetting Agent Applications

A wetting agent is a specialised product that helps water penetrate and spread more evenly through the soil. Think of it like a surfactant or soil conditioner—it breaks the surface tension that causes water to bead up and run off dry or compacted lawns.

Over time, especially during warm and dry spells, soil can become hydrophobic—meaning it resists water. This leads to:

• Dry patches and uneven moisture
   
• Increased stress on grass plants
   
• Inefficient irrigation or rainfall
   
• Poor nutrient uptake
   
• Wasted water and higher costs
   

Wetting agents reopen the soil, allowing water to move into the root zone where it’s needed most.

•  Prevents dry patch and irregular watering issues
   
• Improves drought resistance and turf resilience
   
• Maximises water usage – less waste, more impact
   
• Supports healthy root growth and nutrient uptake
   
• Essential for sandy, compacted, or heavily used lawns
   
• Safe for use on domestic, commercial, and sports turf

 1. Lawn Assessment

We inspect your lawn’s current condition, dry areas, soil type, and moisture levels.

2. Wetting Agent Application

We apply a professional-grade, liquid wetting agent using a calibrated sprayer to ensure even coverage. These are non-toxic and safe for people and pets once dry.

3. Water-In & Monitor

We recommend watering the lawn after application (or timing with rainfall) to allow the product to fully activate and soak into the soil profile.

Spring - Prepares the lawn for warmer, drier months ahead

Summer - Essential during dry spells or drought stress

Anytime dry patch appears - Reactive treatment as needed 

Wetting agents work best when used alongside:

• Aeration – improves water penetration
   
• Fertilisation – ensures nutrients reach the roots
   
• Soil conditioning – for long-term moisture and health improvements
   
• Irrigation plans – makes every drop count
   

We tailor these based on your lawn’s soil profile, grass type, and microclimate.
