Aerating

Aerating your grass allows better movement of air and water in the root zone. A well-aerated lawn will manage better after lots of rain and waterlogging. Concentrate on areas that receive the most wear and those that are compacted. Small areas can be spiked with a garden fork but for larger areas you can hire a Lawn Aerator from us which is supplied with either solid spikes or hollow corers for maximum flexibility. The "off-set" crank operating system on the LA25 allows the power of the engine to punch the tines into the ground resulting in perfect aeration. The tines are positioned 5" apart and they punch at approximately 3-4" intervals, depending on the speed the machine is travelling. Meaning you can get the job done quicker!
