Rakes for Leaves, Lawns, and Soil<\/h2>\n

Thanks for taking the time to read my article on the best garden rakes. There are actually two different types of garden rakes available on the UK market, and we will review both types here.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The lawn and leaf rake – as the name would suggest this is the most popular choice as it is safe to use on lawns and is very good at gathering up leaves and other garden waste and debris<\/li>\n
  2. The garden\/soil rake – this is used for leveling soil, flower bed weeding, working on thicker grass, and general for more heavy duty types of work<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There are many brands or rake available on the UK market, and they do come in slightly different shapes and sizes. Below we hope to guide you through the choices available.<\/p>\n

    That way you can decide which is the best type for your own specific needs.<\/p>\n

    In this article though, we are going to focus on the best rake for gardens, and which types of rakes are the best to use. In our opinion the best garden rake is the Spear & Jackson Carbon Steel Flexo Lawn Rake<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Which Garden Rake Do You Need?<\/h2>\n

    The vast majority of buyers will want a rake that can gather up leaves on a lawn. That is the wider fan type and it is much safer to use on your lawns. The fan design also allows you to gather the leaves much quicker. The flexible spokes or tangs will also not damage your lawn.<\/p>\n

    If you want to do a lot of work on a vegetable garden or on flower beds, then a soil rake will be a batter option. This type of rake is used to help break up and level out the soil.<\/p>\n

    It is worth noting that this rake can also gather up leaves etc, but you do need to use with care, to prevent the rigid spokes from digging into your lawns.<\/p>\n
