Liquid aeration involves applying a fortified liquid solution to the lawn. Commonly, the active ingredient is ammonium lauryl sulfate. The solution breaks down dense particles in the soil and loosens it up, decreasing compaction and allowing for aeration. Liquid aeration, in combination with liquid

such as oxygen will be depleted in the soil, while others, such as carbon dioxide, will build up in the soil. Lack of oxygen in the soil can impact plant growth. In addition to allowing the exchange of gases, soil aeration allows for water drainage and root growth. A common contributor to lack of

Soil aeration may be artificially enhanced by using mechanized or manual equipment to either puncture the soil with spikes (spike aeration) or remove approximately 1 in × 2 in (25 mm × 51 mm) cores of soil from the ground (core aeration).
