6 Reasons to Rent an Aerator
Lawn aeration is a vital in keeping your lawn healthy. It is introducing air into the root system
making oxygen readily available to the grasses. It also increases the microorganisms’ activity
resulting to speedy decomposition of dead matters that will contribute to thatching. Fertilizers
and water will easily soak into the soil giving them direct contact to the roots. These are just few
of the benefits of soil aeration.
Although there are lots of manual types of lawn aerators, many prefer to use the mechanical
aerators. They aerate lawn more efficiently than the manual ones. But power lawn aerators are
very expensive to own, so the best option is to rent one. Here are some reasons why you need to
rent an aerator rather than buying them:
1. If your lawn is not so big, buying an aerator is not feasible. You can save a lot of money by
just renting one. It will only cost you $15-$25 and hour. There is often a half-day, whole day
and week-end rates while buying it brand new will cost you as much as $900-$3,000.
2. Since you do not aerate often as your mow your lawn, buying one is not worth it. It will just
become a dead investment to you.
3. Renting an aerator means maintenance free. After you are done with the unit, you just return it to the
rental shop. Cleaning it or maintaining the lawn aerator is already covered by the rental fee.
4. There is no trouble on your part in storing it. Much space in your garage or storeroom can be
used for other equipments instead.
5. Your lawn will be more verdant and healthy if you aerate it. Instead of slaving yourself in
aerating your lawn manually, why not do it efficiently in half the time? You can conserve not
only money by renting a power aerator but also your energy. Now you can do more work in one
day with this scheme. It is more practical just to rent.
6. You do not have to say no to your neighbors who are known to borrow things and do not
know how to return them. You just simply them that you do not have a unit and you are just
renting the one you are using. With this reason, you will not only have a healthy lawn, you also
preserved good relationship with your neighbors. Enjoy!
