Rake Advice on proper implement to rake up fallen limbs

[markjtrickey]

Hi All,

I'm looking for some advice on the proper implement to get to help me clean my yards of debris. I have a lot of trees, and with that a lot of fallen limbs all times of the year. Of course leaves as well, but I'm assuming that's a different tool all together. I was looking at 3PH Rakes for the sticks, but they look like they would tear up my lawn along with dragging the limbs. Should I be looking for something with more flex in the tines, or can a just run it real light along the ground. It would be nice to be able to use the same tool to clean my garden of rocks, but I need something for the limbs first off.

Thanks

For your needs a Ratchet Rake would outperform a Landscape Rake.

Sounds like a job for a pine straw rake.
