The invention concerns a device for aerating sodded grounds and lawns in pleasure gardens and other green spaces, producing holes in the ground for aerating it. It consists of wheels (1) with spikes (2) fixed on the rim outer part. The wheels are mounted rotating freely on an axle (3) integral with an operating arm (4). A detachable loading unit (5) is fastened by means of a handle (6) on the axle of the wheels (3) in the middle of the device, its centre of gravity is located beneath the axle of the wheels like a pendulum. The inventive device is particularly designed for aerating sodded grounds and lawns in pleasure gardens and other green spaces.
