As a garden tool or machine, a lawn aerator is designed to aerate the soil so as to improve soil drainage and provide ample oxygen to worms, microfauna and microflora.
Lawn aeration includes a controlling lawn thatch and reducing soil compaction. Too much lawn thatches will deprive the lawn of much-needed oxygen. Soil compaction is not conducive for grass to root and disturbs natural rainwater irrigation. So before you aerate you should water the lawn for easy aeration.
