Levelawn (Level Lawn/Level Lute) (30" (76cm))

Product Information

Anyone who loves and cares for their lawn should treat their greenery to a sand treatment twice a year, both when laying a new lawn and afterwards. The results after sanding the lawn are amazing:

The more the lawn is used, the more the soil is compacted. This happens automatically over the years, but also when a new house is built. It is precisely when heavy vehicles drive over the future garden again and again that the newly-built homeowner is surprised that the desired result is not achieved when seeding. A level lawn will ensure plants get the same amount of water and nutrients, while lumps can leave some parts of your lawn wanting more. To get the best results from sanding the lawn and really help the soil, you shouldn't just sprinkle the sand on the lawn. Of course, that doesn't help. Having said that, a heavy tool will be more difficult for some people to use. Ideally, you need a rake with enough weight to do the job, without being difficult to manage.

My Top Recommended Lawn Levelling Rakes

The downside to an adjustable handle is that the handle will be weaker . A handle made from one solid piece of metal is going to be much stronger than one which comes apart.

In addition, it is of course the ideal tool for regular sanding of your lawn. Due to its special manufacturing, it glides effortlessly over the grasses and protects the plants. The handle measures 109 cm and is made from heavy duty aluminium alloy which should last a very long time. The rubber grip ensures it’s comfortable to get into harder areas of ground. While the handle cannot be adjusted, this does mean there’s no potentially weak areas – it is one solid piece of metal. This lawn leveller has a good weight to it which makes it suitable for spreading topsoil or gravel, while also levelling out lumpy soil. It’s sturdy and well made, powder coated to prevent rust. Especially when laying a new lawn, the "foundation" is crucial. If you do not prepare a truly level surface, your beloved green will be a hilly landscape for a long time. With Rasenrakel you can create an absolutely even surface from the beginning in no time. The Rasenrakel is the ideal companion for you and your garden. From the new construction of your house when laying out new garden and lawn areas, to regular sanding, to sand bunker maintenance.

Recommendations

Levelling Lawn Tools provide manoeuvrability, mobility, and functionality making any job time and labour saving. While metal handles can often get cold and uncomfortable, this levelling rake comes with an effort-saving handle and extendable rubber grip. The grip will keep you comfortable for long periods of time, while it won’t get slippery if you sweat (and, let’s face it, lawn levelling can be tough work!). For added comfort, the handle is also adjustable. It’s made up of 3 x 65 cm sections, with a total length of 195 cm. The base is large, measuring 76 x 25 cm. The ease of storage makes this rake a good choice if you’ve not got a lot of space. It hangs on the wall, while the handle divides into two parts so you can store it more compactly. The Landzie Lawn Levelling Rake Tool is the best heavy duty levelling tool. This lawn leveller has a head measuring 91 x 30 cm which makes it perfect for larger areas of lawn. It can cover a big area in fewer passes than those with smaller heads.

The SurmountWay Lawn Levelling Rake is the best lawn leveller overall thanks to its range of levelling head sizes and handle lengths. If you’ve got a smaller lawn, opt for the 43 x 25 cm lawn head. Levelling Lawn Rake, designed in the UK is precision made for both Quality and Durability. Built to endure even the toughest projects. The strongest materials will allow your rake to break up clumped and hard soil, as opposed to only soft materials. Handle Design and LengthAll the lawn levelling rakes I’ve listed are made from stainless steel or aluminium . Stainless steel is durable and won’t rust, while those made from aluminium tend to have a little less strength. You may find that the head of a lawn levelling rake is made from stainless steel, with the handle made from aluminium. I did a lot of searching around the internet and although I found a lot of DIY solutions there weren't any that I was super happy with so I decided to make my own with inspiration from different sources. Another slight issue is that the joint between the handle and board isn’t particularly durable. It hasn’t been welded, so it is a weak point in its construction. This lawn leveller does a good job smoothing loose and bumpy soil with relatively little effort needed on the user’s part. It’s easy to use and durable, with the heavy-duty stainless steel base designed to stand the test of time.

You should also look for handle features that make the rake more comfortable to use. Some have a separate rubber grip to hold on to with your other hand, allowing you to work for longer without fatigue. If you have a mulch mower in use and/or your turf is very matted, it is a good idea to scarify the lawn beforehand so that the sand gets where it needs to go. With a handle measuring 182 cm, this rake should be suitable for most gardeners. Unlike others on the market, there’s no way to make the handle either shorter or longer. Shorter users may find the handle is a little too long to use comfortably. Lightweight and easy to use, the FLBTY Lawn Levelling Rake is perfect for those new to lawn levelling. It’s comfortable to carry and use thanks to its 4 kg weight. Because there are small air gaps between the round sand grains, your soil gets much more air and water can be absorbed much better.
