From the Manufacturer
Is Your Lawn Gasping For Air?The Yard Butler Spike Aerator has sharp spikes that slip into the ground to loosen the soil, and a smooth, strong "powder coated" resin finish that resists rusting . Old lawns and lawns where a lot of activity takes place become compacted. Also thatch from dead leaves builds up creating a barrier, keeping water and air from reaching the roots. The symptoms are thin turf with poor color and bare patches that don't respond to watering and fertilizer.

I waited for some rain to thoroughly moisten the soil into the root zone; knowing that there was no way I could effectively use the aerator when the soil was dry and hard. It is key to have the soil moist through the lawn's root zone, especially in clay soil. So far I have completed aerating the backyard portion of my lawn. Being a "dot-the-eyes-and-cross-the-tees" kind of guy, I tracked how much time it took me to do the backyard lawn, which was a total of 4 hours 25 minutes. Based on the square footage of my backyard, my production rate with the aerator was an average of approximately 325 square feet per hour (slower in the compacted areas, faster in the not-compacted areas).
Even though I have clay soil, this tool worked very well to punch holes in the soil profile of my lawn. In those areas where the soil was most compacted it did require more serious downward pressure and effort with my foot (and some side-to-side wiggling) to get the 3-inch spikes all the way down into the soil. In the less compacted (or not compacted at all) areas the spikes went in to their full length with a minimum of downward foot pressure. I worked the entire backyard in parallel straight rows/columns, punching the row of 4 spikes at the recommended 6" to 8" apart (locating my parallel rows/columns about 3" to 4" apart). I found that is was easier to see where you'd punched your holes if the lawn was recently mowed.
So far I have had no problems at all with this aerator after 4 hours 25 minutes of use. It is strongly constructed of steel with very sturdy, stout welds. The only thing I would change is to have it built maybe 3 or 4 inches longer (the total length of the tool is 36 inches). I am 6 feet tall and have to bend over a bit when using it, which causes me some back soreness after prolonged use (I'm 66 years old and my back isn't in tip-top shape any more). Using the aerator is a bit of a workout and can cause you to break into a sweat if it's warm outside.
I'm very happy with this tool and will use it on my entire lawn, after which I will fertilize. Will its use improve the condition of my lawn? I think it will, but time will tell.
By using this device to aerate a small portion of the lawn at a time, I will get the whole yard done by springtime without ever having to spend more than a few minutes at a time. I am looking forward to seeing if any get any visible improvement in the yard.
In response to a few other reviews, it's hard for me to imagine how the tines could be broken off without great effort. Perhaps those reviewers have especially rocky soil or are using the tool in an inadvisable manner? I also don't see how this tool could possibly exacerbate soil compaction. It makes little holes a few inches deep and a few inches apart. That will allow oxygen, water, and lawn amendments to move downward into the soil, and open up space for roots to grow. The core aerators might be marginally better (mainly because they make a bigger hole), but I fully expect the spike aerator will improve conditions in very much the same manner (while making twice as many holes with each insertion), and this unit received better reviews for durability.
(1) It's well constructed; all welded and the welds were solid.
(2) It's powder-coated, but that had worn off the tines within an hour.
(3) The foot hole is a little small; I wear a size 11 boot and I could just barely use it. A step running perpendicular to the tines, or just on either side like a pogo stick, would have helped.
(4) It's only a little wider than your foot, so don't try doing your whole yard with it. It's great for spot treating trouble areas (areas with drainage issues especially) but otherwise it would be like trying to mow your lawn with a set of clippers.
(5) If the ground is wet, it has no issue penetrating the lawn. Of course, the areas I really wanted to aerate were the ones not getting enough water, and there I could barely break the surface. I think I'll end up using a tent spike on those.
