THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB

Lawn Aerators

Aeration tools are easier to compare when you know what kind of work the lawn needs. Check whether a product cores or spikes, how it operates, and the conditions its instructions specify. Use suitable grass, soil, and seasonal guidance to decide whether aeration belongs in the plan.
