Plug Aerators keep your lawn healthy. This super wide, high-performance, Brinly-Hardy 48" Plug Aerator will make quick work of any yard and get your lawn back on track in a flash.

When lawns look a bit brown and lifeless, or have heavily compacted soil, it's a sure bet that aeration will bring new life to your tired lawn. Aeration allows water, oxygen, and nutrients to reach your lawn's roots directly. Using a "coring" process, Plug Aerators work on compacted soil in heavy traffic or high clay content areas. Heat-treated steel tines penetrate the lawn, pulling "plugs" of soil. These openings let water, seed and nutrients reach the lawn's root system for a fuller and healthier lawn.

The Brinly-Hardy Plug Aerator removes 3" soil plugs from the lawn, allowing compacted soil to loosen up in addition to the benefits provided by a spike aerator. Best for easily compacted soil (like clay), heavy-traffic areas (playgrounds and sports fields), and burned out, drought-damaged lawns. When you use the Brinly-Hardy core aerator, aeration lasts much longer then a spike aerator since it is putting real holes in the ground. Weight trays handle from 4 to 5 standard-size concrete blocks with convenient strap-down points for additional weight on compact ground.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What is the difference between a spiker and a plugger?
A spiker pokes several small holes in the soil. A plugger actually penetrates and pulls a plug approx. 1/2” diameter by up to 3” long out of the ground.

Between spiking and plugging, which is the best type of aeration?
Plugging is. By pulling a plug out of the soil, it allows more moisture and nutrients to get to the root level for a healthier lawn and reduces soil compaction to allow easier root growth.

Can weight be added for deeper penetration?
Yes, all units come standard with a weight tray that can hold 200 additional pounds.
