About NorCal AirTurf
Our Mission
At NorCal AirTurf, our mission is to share the exceptional benefits of the revolutionary Air2G2 aerator with turf managers of all backgrounds, without the cost burden of ownership. We aim to provide effective, noninvasive aerating rental services that enhance soil health. We believe that aerating with the Air2G2, as a complement to traditional and liquid aeration practices, will significantly improve overall soil and turf health under any conditions. By relieving compaction, while increasing drainage, macro pore space, and oxygen through forced gas exchange.
The Story Behind NorCal AirTurf
NorCal AirTurf was started in 2025 by Clay Wood, who served as the Head Groundskeeper for the Oakland A's for 31 years, accumulating a total of 32 years of experience at the Oakland Coliseum. Over the years, the Coliseum has hosted various events, including NFL football, SuperCross, and MonsterJam, leading to severe compaction and contamination of the playing surface. Clay is passionate about the benefits the Air2G2 provides, which he relies on to maintain soil health and improve drainage in the Coliseum's compromised root zone.
March 29, 2023 The Day Before Opening Day
This is a real-life example of how the Air2G2 aerator has performed for Clay at the Coliseum. Following significant root zone contamination from a wind storm during dirt show removal in 2023, even after adding new sand, rototilling, and laser grading, the drainage was still locked up, preventing water movement through the profile. This video was taken at 2 PM on March 29, 2023, just one day before the A's Opening Day.
March 30, 2023 Opening Day
This picture was taken 24 hours later on March 30, 2023. The Air2G2 aerator literally saved Opening Day. We continued Air2G2 injections on the field until 6pm on March 29, and the rain persisted until approximately 10pm. When we arrived at 6am on March 30, there was no standing water, no wet spots, or soft spots to be found, showcasing the effectiveness of the Air2G2.

Comparison of Cultivation Methods: Study finds air injection versus other cultural practices, results in the least reduction of turfgrass cover, no ball roll reduction and lower reduction in surface firmness. Indicating that air injection cultivation has the smallest impact on golfers immediately after a cultivation event.

The Air2G2 creates 3 injection holes for approximately every 72 sq. ft. Repairing the holes is as easy as fixing a ball mark or a quick roll. With the lack of surface disruption, loss in turf canopy and ball roll, uninterrupted play can resume directly behind the Air2G2 treatments. Most athletic fields and parks show no signs the machine was there.
Don't Reject Air or Sand Injection: Coming from a turf management background, NorCal AirTurf understands the importance of traditional turfgrass cultural practices. Our goal is to provide a tool, helping make your turf management programs even more effective.
Along with lateral injection of fresh air, the Air2G2 will penetrate below traditional tine aerification, fracturing compacted soil layers. Allowing more pore space for root growth, more effective nutrient uptake and increased water penetration. The Air2G2 helps tie all of your turf management practices together.
