FAQs About Aerators for Sale 

What are aerators and what do they do? 

• The aeration process creates holes in the soil to alleviate compaction and thatching so that water and nutrients can get to the grass’ roots. When grass is deprived of water, oxygen and other nutrients, it can struggle through stressful weather conditions, like extreme heat and drought, and lose its rich color.  

What type of aerator is best (spark or plug)? 

• To decide which type of aerator to use on your lawn, you must first determine if you have mild or severe soil compaction. Typically, areas that are trampled by foot traffic or are traveled on by heavy machinery have compacted soil. Spike aeration is suitable for smaller lawns with mild compaction, while plug aeration is better for severely compacted lawns. See the listings below for available used core aerators for sale.  

How deep does an aerator go?  

• Aeration holes are generally between 1 and 6 inches deep and 2 to 6 inches apart, depending on the make and model of the aerator.
