DryJect, LLC, focuses on specialized turf aeration and soil modification services. The company has over 30 North American and international franchises, also known as DryJect Service Centers offering services to golf courses, sports fields, and other applications where high-quality turfgrass is critical.
DryJect proprietary equipment features the only proven technology of its kind. High-pressure water penetrates the turf root zone, and dry amendments include sand/peat mixtures, inorganic soil amendments, and more are injected into the resulting aeration holes. Among the key benefits are speed, labor savings, and increased profitability for golf courses, which rely on a maximum number of days offering high-quality putting surfaces to optimize revenue.
Aeration is only one of many tasks that need to be done to enhance the condition of putting green turf, but it comes with a cost. When core aerating greens the golf course will either shut down for a day, or close each 9 for two days to get the job done. After this labor intensive job there is a week or two of waiting for the turf to heal until the greens are back to normal. How much is the revenue reduced in that time period through lost rounds and heavy discounts? What about the lost sales in the pro shop and restaurant? These are just some of the concerns that face all decision makers at golf courses who are responsible for a healthy bottom line.
With DryJect, there is a better way. Aerate, amend, and back-fill the holes on 18 to 20 greens in one day with time to spare! The greens are playable one hour after completed. No lost time waiting for the greens to heal, with fewer complaints from golfers about poor putting conditions. DryJect aeration is very effective and is a viable alternative to core aeration.
“Our data shows that when we core aerate and top-dress in early September, we see about a $30,000 drop-in revenue over the next two weeks. When using DryJect we realize only one day of lost revenue. We estimate a $19,000 savings in using DryJect over core aeration.”
