DryJectFounded in 1998 and manufactured in Hatboro, Pennsylvania, DryJect makes the patented machine behind a one-step turf service that aerates, injects soil amendments, and topdresses golf courses and athletic fields in a single pass. The company’s water-based, vacuum-assisted system fills its aeration holes as it works, leaving playing surfaces smooth and often ready within about an hour rather than covered with cores. John Paddock, who began as a DryJect shop technician, purchased the business in 2016 and now combines his engineering background with experience in golf-course and agricultural turf management.HATBORO, PA
