CORE Aeration 100% Satisfaction Guarantee
Thousands shipped across North America! Because of the reduced diameter 1/2 that of a rental machine, this speed aids in force being directed into the soil. The “doubling the velocity quadruples the kinetic energies and coring abilities!”. Up to 2 1/2″ depth enhancing the soil’s structure increases root depth, water retention, and lushness of the lawn.
CORE AERATOR
This product aerates your lawn as you mow, which reduces soil compaction, increases root depth, leading to a thicker lawn that naturally chokes out weeds. As a fellow homeowner with an 8,050 square foot yard, I initially created this aerator for my own needs. Its popularity is rapidly growing across North America and globally, clearly resonating with the do-it-yourself crowd eager to enhance their lawns.
AERATOR TINES
We manufacture our own tines commitment to quality. Our tines feature 14 % thicker steel, enhancing their durability and strength. As aerator tines are considered a wear item, our design prevents bending, ensuring the sharpness. These tines create a 3/4″ wide hole in the lawn, with a length of 7-3/4″. The bolt hole measures 3/8″ and is positioned 1-1/2″.
PIN AERATOR
Our pin aerators are designed for lighter weight machines, fitting 99.3% of all self-propelled lawn mowers intended for residential use, whether electric or gas-powered. These aerators promote seedling growth and help thicken the lawn in high-traffic areas. By doing so, they effectively choke out weeds, allowing your lawn to flourish.
SPIKE AERATOR
Spike aerators are designed to be more aggressive than pin aerators but less so than core aerators. This product functions similarly to a slit or slice seeder blade, which enhances seed-to-soil contact and increases seed germination rates. Reducing soil compaction operates more smoothly than core aerators and is effective in high-traffic areas.

WEEKLY LAWN TIPS EVERY FRIDAY
Getting your lawn ready before the growing season kicks in is all about timing and preparation. Here’s what to do:
Dethatching for a Healthy Lawn Base
Thatch is the layer of dead grass, roots, and organic matter that accumulates between the soil and grass blades. A thin layer (under half an inch) can insulate soil and retain moisture, but excessive thatch blocks air, water, and nutrients, leading to weak grass and pest issues. Dethatching removes this barrier, revitalizing your lawn. For small yards, a manual dethatching rake works, but for larger areas, a power rake is more efficient. Early spring or fall, when grass is actively growing, is ideal for dethatching cool-season grasses like Kentucky bluegrass. Warm-season grasses, such as Bermudagrass, should be dethatched in late spring. After dethatching, the lawn may look ragged, so rake up debris and compost it (if untreated by herbicides) or bag it for disposal. Water thoroughly to aid recovery, and consider overseeding to fill bare spots.
Raking Debris to Clear the Way
Preseason debris—leaves, twigs, and dead grass—smothers lawns, preventing sunlight and air from reaching grass. Raking clears this clutter, reducing disease risk and preparing the lawn for aeration and seeding. Use a leaf rake for light debris or a convex rake for thicker thatch patches. Mow the lawn short before raking to expose the soil surface, making it easier to spot and remove debris. Regular debris removal keeps the lawn healthy and enhances its appearance, setting the stage for lush growth.
Aeration to Boost Root Health
Aeration alleviates soil compaction, which restricts root growth and nutrient uptake. By removing small plugs of soil, aeration creates channels for air, water, and fertilizers to penetrate deeply. Core aeration, using a plug aerator, is most effective, especially for clay soils or high-traffic areas. Spring or fall aeration aligns with peak grass growth, promoting quick recovery. After aerating, leave soil plugs on the lawn to decompose, adding nutrients back to the soil. Overseeding post-aeration ensures seeds make direct soil contact, improving germination.
Benefits of Owning a Green Scotts Aerator
The Green Scotts Aerator, a reliable core aerator, offers distinct advantages over renting. Owning allows you to aerate on your schedule, without rental availability constraints or transport hassles. Rentals often involve fixed timeframes, rushed jobs, and worn equipment, while the Scotts Aerator’s durable tines ensure consistent performance. It’s cost-effective for annual or biannual aeration, as rental fees accumulate over time. With ownership, you can aerate incrementally, targeting problem areas without pressure, and maintain the tool for long-term use.
Summary of Steps
- Mow Short: Cut grass to expose soil.
- Rake Debris: Clear leaves and twigs with a leaf rake.
- Dethatch: Use a dethatching rake or power rake to remove excess thatch.
- Aerate: Use a Green Scotts Aerator to relieve compaction.
- Clean Up: Compost or bag thatch; leave aeration plugs.
- Overseed and Water: Seed bare spots and water thoroughly for recovery.
These steps, paired with owning a Green Scotts Aerator, pave the way for a lush, healthy lawn.
