Groundskeeper II Garden Rake 55" Lightweight Fiberglass Handle, w/ 21" Head, Durable Steel Tines for Gardening, De-thatching or Professional Landscaping

Just perfect for getting thatch out of lawn, racking up after mowing and getting up leaves as well as keeping garden neat and tidy. Half the work and twice the results. Easier on my more mature, time ravaged body.Outstanding quality, price and delivery time. So glad I got it, really makes my work easier, quicker and less physically grueling.Highly recommend.

It sure does the job in the Spring especially when you want to remove and pick up all the dead grass. It works very well. Kind of hard to use but once you get the hang of it, it’s OK. Just not an easy task overall. But would not do without it. Very useful.

Let me start by saying this rake is fantastic. I've had a dead pine fall through the center of my orchard last year, and after cutting it all up and moving it, I could seem to find a way to get all of the inbedded branches and twigs out of the ground. I've tried hardware store rakes and they are not sturdy enough to pull sticks out of the ground. I've tried my landscaping rake but it just bounces and skips over everything. So I read some reviews and found this beauty, first impression, the tines look like something you'd find on farm equipment, thin, but very sturdy and spring loaded. This rake ripped all of those branches out of the ground, from the tiny little twigs, to branches up to 3-4 inches wide, it even dug up branches I couldn't even see. Up until now I've been weed wacking this whole area, but now that I have the means to clean it back up, I can finally push mower it again. I had to add a picture of just one row I've done, it was a quick pass and I only went over it once, but the results are astounding. This is only one row of my orchard and I've got lots to go, thank the heavens I've found this rake. I am a little old fashioned and would prefer a wooden handle, however I understand that keeping it light was the idea, it is very light and not very tasking to use, and it's made in the USA. Don't hesitate, I can't think of many better ways to spend 50 dollars.

J'avais besoin d'un rateau qui pouvait racler les petites branches sans endommager le sol et ou le gazon. Le groundskeeper 11 fait le travail et sans trop d'effort parce qu'il est tellement leger avec le manchon en fibre de verre et les dents en broche tel qu'on peut le constater sur la photo ci-dessus.jeanpro30

I thatch lawns for a living. Own 7 gas powered thatching machines. This is a fantastic tool to keep your lawn in top shape. If your soil is hard as a brick then water a LITTLE bit first to increase the quality of your work and ease of use. This tool is best for small to medium lawns. Better than a electric thatching machine. Great for spot treatments on larger lawns. Hundreds of my clients have purchased this rake and I've got lots of thank yous for this advice.I live in Seattle, WA. Used on Perennial rye grass and fescue. Occasional blue grass. It's a rake. Don't do your whole lawn in 1 day. Space your raking sessions out. You should really use this rake multiple times a year. It's really a cool light tool that's a fantastic investment. Best prices are in winter and early spring. This tool regurly sells out and costs a lot during the summer and fall months. Thats my experience with this rake over the last 6 years. Watch out buying this rake elsewhere other than Amazon. Scammers will list this rake and will hide shipping rates of $100 or more. It's really a thing. By the time the rake finally arrives from those shady sites those scammers have closed their business and then opened a new one. Yes, this works because who would expect that to happen when buying a lawn rake. I live in Seattle with lots of tech savvy people that did not take my advice. Buy the rake on Amazon or wait. Best of luck to you and happy raking. Stewart In Seattle
