Equipped with a long, sturdy steel handle and spike-tooth rollers, the Lawn Aerator easily perforates through the soil by pushing down. As a result, the soil becomes loose, allowing water, oxygen, and nutrients to easily diffuse into the soil pores. In particular, the 1.2-inch spikes and 18-inch length increase the depth and range of use. Wide splash guards not only keep your clothes and shoes clean and dry but most importantly, protect your feet from injury.
