There are a variety of different lawn aerators that you can use. You can find them at many different price points. It can be difficult to know if you are getting a good price on the machine. Sometimes it will be better to buy a machine while other times renting will be a much better option.

This article will explore some of your options to help you figure out which one is best. Lawn aerator shoes are probably your least expensive option. These shoes tend to break easily and many kinds are not that effective. The types that do work will need to be used approximately every couple of weeks because they do not make deep holes.

Liquid lawn aerators will cost a little bit more than lawn aerator shoes. It is pretty expensive if you consider that you will only get one use out of it. It does a fairly good job of breakup up compacted soil but really should be used in combination with a mechanical lawn aerator. Hand aerators are a good option if you have a small yard.

It will not cost much to use one of these to aerate your lawn. It can be very hard work if you have extremely hard soil. The best types of hand aerators have only two coring spikes. They are also great for small patches that need to be reseeded. The easiest and fastest way to aerate your lawn is with a machine core aerator.

They are also the most expensive option. Usually people rent these rather than buying them. They will usually cost somewhere between $40 and $100 a day to rent. You can lower your cost by seeing if any neighbors would like to go in on the rental. Many times there are professional lawn aeration services that will do it for around the same amount of money as you will spend to rent a machine.
