DURABLE: The Yard Butler lawn aerator tool was built to last with a durable steel construction. The powder coated steel is heavy-duty and rust-resistant. Cushioned handles provide additional grip. Yard Butler products are designed to last a lifetime. STRONGER GROWTH: High traffic in your yard can cause your grass to become compacted and thatch can build up, creating a barrier that keeps water and air from reaching the roots. Help prevent long term damage to your lawn by using our spike grass aerator to break up compaction and dethatch your lawn. EASY TO USE: Our 36-inch yard aerator lets you tend to your lawn without back strain. The foot bar provides extra leverage so aerating your lawn is easy work. Spike aeration loosens soil and thatch to let air, water, and fertilizer down to the roots. LAWN DETHATCHER: Add our garden tiller to your arsenal of landscape tools. It features four 3-inch spikes that penetrate and loosen compacted soil. Spike aeration also stimulates root growth by separating the roots. AERATION TOOL FOR LAWN: Prepare your lawn for fertilizing and for re-seeding or over-seeding. Using a spike aerator reduces runoff, evaporation, and puddling while strengthening the lawn's tolerance to heat and drought.
