Looking into breaking up this hard soil without totally uprooting the new grass, what are my options?

Thinking some kind of tiller/miller/cultivator. Something one step more than poking holes, but not further than scarifying?

Maybe something like this?

You should've broken up the soil before planting the grass.

Personally, I'd get a pair of aerating sandles, as they are likely to last longer than that ^ contraption. Probably worth adding some organic matter too, as that'll help improve the quality of the soil and break it down.

If I was doing it properly, of course. But… Yea the issue is that it is mega patchy.
