soil aerator

Ground breathing tool

A soil aerator is a tool or machine that creates holes or channels in compacted earth, allowing air, water, and nutrients to reach plant roots.

Aerators range from handheld spike tools to motorized machines with hollow tines.

The lawn service came by with a soil aerator before reseeding.

Regular aeration improves drainage and promotes healthier grass.
