Core aerator
Walk-behind machine that pulls soil plugs — not solid spikes.
- Find on Amazon
Walk-behind units are usually rented; Amazon mostly sells tow-behind or spike tools — skip spike-only.
Why it helps a lawn renovation
Overseeding succeeds when seed reaches soil. Cores open compacted ground so water, air, and seed contact improve — especially before fall overseed.
How to use it
Home centers and equipment yards rent by the day; a service is often cheaper than fighting a machine on a big yard. Flag irrigation heads. Soil should be moist, not muddy. Leave cores to break down. Solid-tine “aeration” is not a substitute.
