Our Approach

 

After a site assessment — visual observation and historical evaluation of soil and turf performance — we recommend an initial topical application rate of one of our WaterSOLV™ proprietary blends (e.g., WaterSOLV™ pHix or WaterSOLV™ GROW). This allows turf managers to observe response in real time and keep costs controlled. 

WaterSOLV™ chemistry is designed to:

• Disrupt bound mineral and organic complexes that constrict pore space

• Enhance water infiltration and retention

• Improve functional soil structure and turf health

• Promote sustainable turf integrity rather than temporary masking of symptoms 

 

How It Works

 

Soils act like filters — over time they accumulate compaction, mineral binding, organic detritus, and anaerobic conditions that reduce porosity and promote stagnant zones. Topical chemistry fills and expands pore pathways, creating better infiltration and aeration. This process:

1. Begins by addressing the most constrained pore spaces

2. Progressively increases soil continuity as chemistry interacts with soil complexes

3. Enhances infiltration, oxygen diffusion, and nutrient mobility 

 

Physical enhancements (e.g., light needle tine) can help chemistry penetrate more efficiently, but are not always required.

​

Targeted Tiered Treatment

 

Different areas often exhibit different levels of constraint:

​

• Hard, compacted zones

• Areas with biological binding or anaerobic pockets

• Salt-accumulated or mineral-bound profiles

• Waterlogged or overly dry patches

 

Tiered sampling and targeted analysis help determine where chemistry will be most effective and define optimal application strategies. 

​

Getting Started

​

1. Identify problematic conditions — compaction, biological binding, restricted infiltration, toxic layers.

2. (OPTIONAL) Collect representative soil samples from each unique area of concern.

3. Select the appropriate WaterSOLV™ blend and a tailored application rate.

4. Apply topically to fill pore space and initiate remediation.

5. Monitor response and adjust treatment frequency based on performance. 

 

By starting with topical applications, turf managers can quickly address localized issues and assess soil response before considering deeper or more comprehensive interventions.
