Rafi Friedman, president of Coastal Luxury Outdoors, believes it’s key to have a lawn aerator like this one for regular yard maintenance. “Dense soil, low spots, and overgrown roots can all turn yards into miniature lakes with even a little rain, leading to issues like undermined foundations, fungal infections, and grubs,” Friedman says. “Aerating your lawn is one of the best ways to prevent this, and it doesn’t have to be an expensive service.”
This tool has 15 sharp spikes to loosen soil and help water reach roots, and assembly only takes a few minutes.
