Professional landscaping contractors across the UK rely heavily on aerators to maintain healthy turf, reduce soil compaction, improve drainage, and promote long-term lawn vitality. Whether they manage sports fields, estates, business parks, residential sites, or commercial grounds, aerators are vital for high-quality turf care. However, commercial-grade aerators represent a significant investment—particularly heavy-duty petrol machines or high-output tow-behind units.
Gable Business Finance specialises in helping landscaping contractors acquire essential aeration equipment through tailored asset finance solutions. From hollow-tine aerators to spike rollers, petrol-powered machines, and electric scarifier/aerator combinations, Gable ensures contractors can spread costs, protect cash flow, and upgrade equipment as their business grows.
Aeration is one of the most important turf management processes for landscaping businesses. It allows air, water, and nutrients to reach grass roots more effectively while reducing compaction caused by footfall, vehicles, lawn mowers, and natural soil settling.
Because many commercial contracts require seasonal aeration (especially Spring and Autumn), contractors need reliable, durable machinery that can handle demanding workloads.
Ideal for targeted aeration or smaller residential sites. These tools physically remove plugs from the turf, which is essential for heavy clay soil. Popular features include steel construction, long handles, and plug collection trays.
Best for light soil aeration. Contractors use these for quick oxygenation rather than deep compaction relief. Heavy-duty rollers have steel drums and fixed or rotating spikes.
For large commercial grounds, estates, and sports fields. Machines such as Billy Goat or Weibang models use Honda engines and self-propelled systems to efficiently extract cores at depth.
Increasingly popular for medium-sized sites, combining dethatching and shallow aeration in one machine. Brands like VonHaus and Hyundai dominate this segment.
Gable Business Finance offers flexible funding solutions tailored to landscapers purchasing new or used aeration machinery. Whether upgrading a fleet or replacing ageing equipment, contractors get predictable payments and the ability to scale operations without large upfront capital outlay.
Gable finances equipment of all ages, from dealer or private sales, giving contractors maximum flexibility when selecting the right aerator.
A new landscaping contractor specialising in residential gardens needed an affordable entry-level aeration solution. They purchased a heavy-duty manual hollow-tine fork (Swardman-style) and used Hire Purchase from Gable to spread the cost over 12 months. This allowed them to add aeration as a profitable upsell service.
A grounds maintenance company managing several business parks invested in a steel spike roller (similar to Costway models). Gable financed the purchase via a Finance Lease, enabling the contractor to use the machine immediately during Spring without upfront cost.
A firm specialising in school and sports club maintenance needed a high-performance petrol aerator. They acquired a Billy Goat self-propelled machine with Honda engine using HP spread over 36 months. This allowed them to expand into deeper compaction-relief services.
Landscapers managing a large private estate purchased a Weibang commercial aerator for routine Autumn/Spring aeration. Gable provided seasonal payments aligned with peak cash flow periods.

The contractor required multiple electric units for efficiency. Gable financed a fleet of Hyundai electric aerators under a finance lease with flexible upgrade terms.
