You may be wondering if spike aerators really work, how spike aerators compare to lawn aerators, and which ones will work the best for my lawn?
The truth is there are five different types of spike lawn aerators. Some on them have little or no positive effects on your lawn. Some help out a ton. In this article we will describe them in order of effectiveness.

1) Lawn mower wheel spikes are the least effective. They only cover a tiny 2 inches are per pass and the spikes are so small it is doubtful the even go deep enough to do any good. Don't buy these!
2) Spiked lawn aerator shoes- These are slightly better, but still the spikes are to narrow and small to do a whole lot of good. Also the coverage is only slightly better than the mower wheel. The advantage is that they are affordable and only range from 10 to .
3) Push spike Aerator. These roll on the ground and provide better coverage. They are easier to use, but unless they have a lot of extra weight on them, they may not penetrate very deeply.
4) Hand and foot push spikes. These will go deep enough to have a positive effect. They are durable, affordable and you will get great results. The only disadvantage to these is that they are extremely time consuming and strenuous to use.
5) The rolling barrel spike aerator. These aerators have a solid metal core that can be filled with water or sand to allow better penetration. They are heavy enough to penetrate the surface and go deep enough to make a difference. They are easier to use then the foot push aerators and have better coverage. I like numbers 4 and 5 the best as far as spike aerators go. It is up to you to decide which is best for you!
