Maintaining consistent soil moisture is essential for healthy lawns, gardens, and landscapes. Our Moisture Management collection features Hydretain® and Lesco products designed to reduce watering needs, improve plant health, and protect turf from drought stress. Whether you're facing watering restrictions or simply want to get more from every drop, these solutions help you take control of soil moisture like never before.

Why Moisture Management Matters

Dry soil leads to wilting, poor seed germination, and uneven turf quality. Hydretain® technology solves this by capturing soil moisture vapor and converting it into plant-usable water, effectively keeping your soil hydrated longer between watering or rainfall.

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked.

How does Hydretain reduce watering needs?

Hydretain captures soil moisture vapor that would otherwise be lost to evaporation and converts it into plant-usable water droplets. This keeps roots hydrated longer and significantly reduces the frequency of irrigation.

Is Hydretain safe for use on all types of grass and plants?

Yes, Hydretain is safe for all grass types, flowers, shrubs, trees, and edible plants. It's non-toxic and environmentally friendly when used as directed.

How often should I apply Hydretain?

For optimal results, apply Hydretain every 3 months during the growing season. In areas with extreme drought or sandy soils, reapply every 45 to 60 days for consistent moisture management.

Can I use soil moisture products when seeding a lawn?

Absolutely. They are excellent for seed germination and helps keep the seedbed moist, which is critical for successful establishment. Apply after seeding and water it in thoroughly.

What’s the difference between Hydretain liquid and granular?

The liquid version is ideal for hose-end or tank sprayer applications and quickly penetrates the soil. The granular version is applied using a broadcast spreader and is better for large areas or hard-to-reach spots.
