What to look for in lawn aerators
- Core vs spike
- Core aerators pull plugs out — genuinely relieving compaction. Spike aerators push a tine in and can make compacted soil slightly worse.
- Do you need it?
- Clay soil, heavy foot traffic, and water pooling instead of soaking in are the tells. A loose, sandy lawn may not need it at all.
