Know before you buy
The 8-tine configuration is specifically engineered for precision tasks like preparing seed beds, breaking up soil clods, and leveling garden soil. Its narrow spacing allows for finer soil manipulation compared to wider, heavy-duty leaf rakes.
No, the head is crafted from high-quality stainless steel, which is naturally corrosion-resistant. It is designed to withstand moisture and soil contact over many seasons of use.
The handle is made from FSC-certified ash wood, known for its strength and shock-absorbing properties. It is finished with an eco-friendly walnut stain that protects the wood while maintaining a natural, comfortable grip.
This is a landscape and soil-prep rake, not a leaf rake. While it can move some surface debris, its weight and tine design are optimized for working with soil rather than gathering large volumes of foliage.
The rake measures 65.13 inches in total length. This long reach is generally comfortable for most gardeners, providing good leverage for leveling soil without requiring excessive bending.
