What is a lawn rake?
| A lawn rake is similar to a leaf rake, and the names "leaf rake" and "lawn rake" are sometimes used interchangeably. However, lawn rakes are more versatile than leaf rakes. They can be used to collect leaves and other garden work. A lawn rake may also be referred to as a fan or spring rake. | |
| They have thin teeth that fan out. The tines are bent towards the ends with either a slight curve or a sharp right angle to help pick up debris. The tines are usually resilient, so they have a bit of flex, which means they touch the ground quite softly. |
 | Lawn rakes have stronger and stiffer tines than leaf rakes while still being fairly light. A good quality lawn rake should be easy to handle but strong enough that the teeth won't break with prolonged use. |
 | Lawn rake attachments typically have tines that fan out between 400 mm (16 inches) and 500 mm (20 inches). They are made from carbon steel, stainless steel, or spring steel for extra strength. The handles are usually between 1.2m (47 inches) and 1.8m (71 inches) long, so they have a fairly long reach. |
