DryJect Franchise FDD, Costs & Fees (2025)

DryJect offers lawn aeration and soil amendment services, enhancing turf health and promoting lush and vibrant lawns for residential and commercial properties.

DryJect is a unique franchise opportunity specializing in advanced turf management, particularly focused on aeration and soil modification services. Founded in 1998 by Chris des Garennes and Peter van Drumpt, DryJect has grown into a leader in the green industry, offering innovative solutions to golf courses, sports stadiums, and other high-quality turf environments. 

The company is headquartered in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, where it also manages its manufacturing and service operations. DryJect began franchising in 2006. The franchise offers a patented, state-of-the-art technology that sets it apart from traditional aeration services.

This technology uses high-pressure water to penetrate the turf's root zone, simultaneously injecting dry amendments such as sand and peat mixtures into the aeration holes.
