What is a lawn aerator good for?
A lawn aerator pulls plugs or punches holes so air, water and nutrients reach the roots.
- Relieving compacted soil
- Preparing a lawn for overseeding
- Seasonal lawn maintenance
- Removing a layer of thatch: a dethatcher
- Breaking ground for a new bed: a tiller
- Spreading seed: an overseeder
A dethatcher removes dead grass buildup that blocks water and nutrients, while an aerator creates holes to improve soil drainage and compaction. Choose a dethatcher if your lawn feels spongy with visible thatch, or an aerator if water runs off or soil is compacted.

How do I transport a walk-behind core aerator?
Walk-behind core aerators typically weigh 200 to 288 lb; this listing doesn't give the unit's own weight. That is too heavy to lift by hand: it needs ramps or a lift gate to go into a pickup bed, or a small trailer (a single-axle 5 x 8 ft utility trailer typically carries 2,332 to 2,340 lb). Check that the truck's payload rating covers it.
What's the best type of lawn aerator for my yard?
Core aerators remove soil plugs and work best for compacted lawns, while spike aerators poke holes and suit lighter maintenance. Choose based on your lawn size, soil density, and grass type.
