Aeration is a process of removing plugs of soil from the ground, or loosening the soil to allow air and water to penetrate. Aeration is usually done by an aerator machine that creates holes in the ground.

They are typically used on lawns but also useful for other things such as digging up clumps of earth or removing stones, roots and other materials from hard-to-reach areas.

An aerator machine can be hired for a short period of time instead of buying one for irregular use. Hiring an aerator machine will save you money and time in the long run.
