The Only New Zealand-Made Lawn Aerator

If you’re looking for a lawn aerator made in New Zealand, this is it. Designed and built by a local engineer, it’s the only aerator of its kind that is New Zealand-designed and New Zealand-manufactured – not a cheap, mass-produced import from China. This tool is built to last.

Unlike many flimsy overseas models, this aerator uses professional Turf Tines from Australia, the same high-quality tines trusted in the turf industry. That means they penetrate cleanly, stand up to heavy use, and can be replaced if needed, giving you a lifetime tool instead of a throw-away one.

Comfort and durability

Each aerator comes fitted with replaceable foam handles. They make the tool more comfortable to use and help prevent blisters during longer jobs. Like any foam handle, they are a replaceable part, so avoid twisting them excessively to get the best life out of them.

Tips for best results

For smooth operation, always water your lawn before aerating. These tines are designed to slide easily into moist soil. If you find yourself struggling, it’s a sign the top of your soil profile has dried out. In that case, applying a wetting agent beforehand will help water soak in and make aeration far easier. Our aerators are built to a consistent spec and have proven performance across thousands of lawns. The tines are powder-coated as part of manufacturing, and in the first few uses, that coating naturally wears in. If you hit heavy compaction or sticky wet soil early on, give it a chance. A little soapy water or wetting agent on the tines helps, then keep going as the coating beds in. A small percentage of users run into issues early, often because of soil moisture or compaction, not the tool.
