lawn aerator

Grass soil ventilator

A lawn aerator is a tool or machine that punctures soil to allow air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots.

Manual versions use hollow tines or spikes pushed by foot; powered models roll across the lawn creating systematic holes.

Aerating relieves soil compaction and promotes healthier turf: I rented a lawn aerator to fix the bare patches.
