Types of Lawn Rakes

Leaf Rakes

• Leaf rakes are a common household item used to help gather fallen leaves and other lawn debris for waste or composting. They may have a wood or metal handle. The bottom of leaf rakes are triangular bows with flexible metal or plastic teeth.

Hand Rakes

• Hand rakes are mini versions of leaf rakes that are short enough to be handheld. They are also called cultivators. They may have a wood or rubber grip handle and usually have three teeth. Hand rakes are used to loosen soil, remove weeds and break up dirt around plants.

Landscape and Level-head rakes

• Landscape and level-head rakes are used by home gardeners for grading, sifting and leveling soil. They are long with a horizontal bow of straight metal teeth. They range from lightweight models to heavyweight items that are attached to tractors for serious gardeners and professionals.
