AMES Aerator

This tool is specifically designed for smaller yards. Because it is a manual, foot-operated aerator with a 6-inch working width, it would be labor-intensive and inefficient to use on a large property.

The tines are designed to reach a working depth of 3.5 inches. This is sufficient for most residential lawns to help air, water, and nutrients reach the root zone effectively.

Yes, the D-handle provides a more ergonomic grip than a straight handle. It allows you to maintain better control and leverage while applying downward pressure with your foot, reducing strain on your hands and wrists.

While the steel construction is durable, manual aerators can be difficult to use in extremely dry or compacted clay. For the best results, we recommend using this tool after a light rain or watering your lawn a day prior to soften the ground.

This aerator features 4 steel tines, meaning it creates 4 aeration holes with every single step you take.

The tool features a powder-coated finish, which is specifically applied to resist rust and wear. However, like any steel garden tool, it is best practice to wipe it clean and store it in a dry place after use to ensure longevity.
