Lawn Aerator

A lawn aerator is a tool used in landscaping to perforate the soil with small holes, allowing air, water, and nutrients to penetrate the grass roots. This process helps alleviate soil compaction, promoting healthier, stronger lawns. Lawn aerators come in manual versions, which are pushed or rolled over the lawn, and powered versions, which can cover larger areas more efficiently. The two main types of aerators are spike aerators, which poke holes in the soil, and core aerators, which remove small plugs of soil. Regular aeration is essential for maintaining a lush, green lawn, particularly in high-traffic areas or clay-heavy soils.
