Garden Rakes

Shop the best selection of Garden Rakes at Acme Tools.

Rakes, often associated with leaf gathering in autumn, actually come in various types suited for different tasks beyond just tidying up fallen leaves. The bow or garden rake, a staple in household yard maintenance, features a long handle with a wide head and sturdy metal tines, perfect for tough tasks like breaking up soil or leveling sand and general garden upkeep. In contrast, landscape rakes are a more specialized tool, favored by professionals for their wide heads and short tines, facilitating quick work over large areas, particularly in leveling soil or sand.

Meanwhile, thatch rakes are unique with sharp, blade-like tines designed to efficiently remove thatch while preserving healthy grass. Leaf rakes, known for their long, fan-shaped plastic tines, are crucial for managing fallen leaves, preventing lawn issues, and ensuring safety on properties with trees. For more meticulous work, shrub rakes with fewer and shorter tines are preferred, making it easier to clean around fences or beneath shrubs. Additionally, Acme stores offer specialty rakes like concrete and roof rakes, each serving distinct purposes beyond the scope of traditional garden maintenance.
