Aerating Your Lawn

Approximately how long does it take to use a gas powered aerator on one's lawn? We want to share the expense of an aerator, but don't know how long it takes. How much slower do you go than when you are mowing? Is it just one swipe over each area? Thanks.

We have an equipment rental business. We rent aerators. We tell people it takes about twice as long as it does to mow. Most people will go over it from two directions. Leave the plugs on the lawn and either let the rain wash them back in, or your sprinkler. Hope this helps.
