DryJect returns to Minnesota

American Peat Technology has announced the acquisition and reopening of DryJect Minnesota. This acquisition brings turf aeration and topdressing services for golf courses, athletic fields, and municipal properties for the state of Minnesota.

DryJect's high-pressure injection system aerates the turf and fills the root zone with sand or soil amendments in a single step – creating smoother, healthier and immediately playable surfaces with little to no downtime. DryJect recovers up to three times faster than hollow tine aerification, meaning less revenue loss due to course closure.

"Bringing DryJect back to Minnesota is a major step forward for turf managers across the region," American Peat Technology CEO Brad Pieper said. “DryJect isn't just another aeration option – it's proven to be the most advanced, least disruptive technology on the market, and it directly supports our mission to improve soil health through science."

The acquisition reestablishes DryJect's presence in Minnesota under new leadership after a period of inactivity. APT plans to reintroduce the service to courses and facilities across the state, with potential future expansion into neighboring markets such as North and South Dakota, Iowa and beyond.

"We've already heard from superintendents who are eager to have DryJect back," said Luke Jacobson, who leads the DryJect Minnesota operation. "There's really no alternative that matches its precision, speed, or results. You can start treatment at dawn and be playing by lunchtime – it's that efficient. Our goal is to deliver the highest-quality turf conditions possible while saving our clients time, labor, and lost revenue."

APT's PeatBuilt+TM product line of proprietary soil amendments compliment the DryJect technology to enhance turf repair, strength, drainage and recovery. PeatBuilt+ Ultra, a durable granular material that mimics the hydraulic conductivity of sand, can be used in the DryJect process to enhance drainage and aeration and to slowly release valuable humic acids directly into the root zone.

Pairing DryJect's high-velocity injection system with APT's peat-based PeatBuilt+ products will enable faster recovery, stronger turf performance and better playing conditions while reducing course downtime.

"At the end of the day," Pieper said, "we're helping facilities deliver better turf experiences, faster – and showing what's possible when natural agronomic science meets precision technology."
