American Peat Technology Revives DryJect Service for Minnesota Turf Managers
American Peat Technology has announced the acquisition and reopening of DryJect Minnesota, bringing one of the state’s most in-demand turf aeration and topdressing services back into operation. The move restores access to a technology widely used by golf courses, athletic fields, and municipal facilities seeking fast, high-quality turf improvement.
DryJect’s patented system uses high-pressure water to aerate turf and inject sand or soil amendments directly into the root zone in a single pass. The process leaves surfaces smooth, clean, and immediately playable—recovering up to three times faster than traditional hollow-tine aerification, which often results in lost revenue due to downtime.
“Bringing DryJect back to Minnesota is a major step forward for turf managers across the region,” said Brad Pieper, CEO of American Peat Technology. “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.”
Strong Market Demand for DryJect’s Return
DryJect Minnesota had been inactive for a period, and its return under the leadership of American Peat Technology has already been welcomed by superintendents and grounds teams across the region.
“We've already heard from superintendents who are eager to have DryJect back,” said Luke Jacobson, who leads DryJect Minnesota. “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.”
American Peat Technology plans to reintroduce the service throughout Minnesota, with the possibility of expanding into North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, and neighboring markets.
American Peat Technology Strengthens Its Turf Solutions Portfolio
The relaunch further integrates American Peat Technology’s existing turf and soil health solutions, particularly its PeatBuilt+ line of proprietary peat-based amendments. These materials are designed to improve turf strength, drainage, and recovery. PeatBuilt+ Ultra—a durable granular product with sand-like hydraulic properties—can be combined with DryJect applications to enhance root-zone conditions and gradually release humic acids.
Pairing DryJect’s high-velocity injection system with the PeatBuilt+ portfolio allows facilities to achieve faster recovery, improved playing quality, and reduced downtime.
“At the end of the day, we're helping facilities deliver better turf experiences, faster – and showing what's possible when natural agronomic science meets precision technology,” added Pieper.
