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

Product Information

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. 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. The base is heavy, which makes it effective at a number of tasks including removing stones, breaking up small clots of loam and mixing soil with fertilisers. It can also be used to level out lumps of soft ground and prepare the garden for planting.

All of the models in this review are made of stainless steel, of various grades. This is a metal that is strong and doesn’t rust or corrode. The grade of the stainless steel is important as that relates to its sturdiness. Alternate materials include aluminium which, while being more lightweight, is a little more flimsy. Lawn Leveller Rake is the multi-purpose tool for UK lawns, gardens, DIY projects and professional landscaping. 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. This rake makes smoothing and grading finely divided stones or soil on the lawn easy. The rake itself measures 50 x 25 cm so it’s a good size for smaller spaces. You’ll be able to prepare the lawn for planting or spreading fertiliser.The handle is easy to assemble with its three sections. Its maximum length is 225cm which makes it suitable for taller people or those gardeners who like to extend their arms out when raking the lawn. The convenience of a choice of heights with the sectioned pole is a little offset by this structure weakening the stability of the pole, as reported by some online reviewers. Despite this limitation, it’s still very handy to be able to change the length of the handle to match the height of the person using the rake. One downside of this, though, is that having the handle in a number of sections does tend to make it more bendable than having just one pole. I like the solution of one user who duct-taped the sections together at the joins to increase the handle’s strength. Though, you do need to keep it in one piece and not disassemble it to fit into your garden tools storage area. Assembly

Maintaining a pristine lawn is a whole lot easier if the ground is level, but it’s fairly unusual for a lawn to be naturally free from lumps and bumps. Don’t be fooled by the words “adjustable” as related to the handle length. Yes, many models do have adjustable handles but that’s because the handle comes in sections. Your choice of handle height is restricted to whether you use one, two, or three sections at once. Overall – the advice is to go for the widest you dare for best levelling effect which is the primary objective for acquiring a Lawn Lute. Levelling Lawn Rake, designed in the UK is precision made for both Quality and Durability. Built to endure even the toughest projects. The levelling rakes I’ve recommended range in weight from around 3 kg to 7 kg . If you think you’ll struggle with a heavier tool, opt for one of the lighter models. The Importance of Rake Width

The Allett Lawn Lute is the ultimate weapon for seeding, turfing or applying a pristine top dressing to your lawn during Spring and Autumn. A handle pivoting clevis connection allows the handle to lie flat which gives maximum reach while leaving the lute frame flat on the lawn surface. This also gives a flat-against-the-wall profile when hanging on the wall for storage. 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. This tool copes well with lawns planted with almost any type of grass. It’s a great all-round and versatile tool, and can also be used to level gravel. It’s easy to assemble this model as you put the handle together in three sections. This lets you adjust the length of the handle pole to between 72cm and 225cm according to what’s comfortable for you. Remember that you use an easy to and fro motion with this levelling rake. Our popular Lawn Leveling Rake 92cm is regularly used by landscapers and greenskeepers, indicating that it is highly regarded by these industry professionals.

The MIYA Level Lawn Rake is similar to the INFLATION Golf Grass Levelawn. It has the same ease of assembly and disassembly, being put together in less than one minute.

Shopping

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. The TALITARE Lawn Levelling Rake is another of the smaller levelling rakes in this review. With a levelling rake head area of 43cm by 30cm, it’s best used on small to medium-sized properties. This model is constructed of 304 stainless steel, the most common grade used for resisting corrosion and rust. Carrying on from when I sacrificed my lawn and applied sulphate of iron (which is a moss killer and lawn tonic), one job I often used find myself doing before seeding is levelling my lawn. Once my lawn has been levelled, I usually overseed it, and you get a much better lawn, especially if you’re trying to get a striped lawn using a mower with a roller. Standard garden rakes are designed for moving soil, but not levelling it . They break up and move clods of dirt and soil. While they can smooth out a bumpy flower bed, they won’t do much to level a lawn. They are more multipurpose than levelling rakes, so for this reason most gardeners choose to have both a garden rake and a levelling rake in their tool kit. Don’t worry about having to grip the stainless steel pole when you use this model as it has an ergonomic soft rubber grip at the end of the handle. This is comfortable to hold as well as reduces the stress on your hand. Pros

The strongest materials will allow your rake to break up clumped and hard soil, as opposed to only soft materials. Handle Design and Length If you have a larger garden or even large dips in the lawn to level, then the SurmountWay Lawn Levelling Rake is a great choice thanks to its nice wide 75cm levelling width. For smaller gardens, the MIYA Level Lawn Rake is ideal because it has got a smaller levelling width of 43cm which is better for smaller narrow dips.

1.5 Metre Robust Handle Included 

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!). Make sure to buy a lawn levelling rake that’s proportionate to the size of the area you want to level – your lawn or vegetable patch. The most common complaint I came across from reviewers of this tool was that it was too narrow. 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. Lawn Lute is constructed of no-rust and non-corrosive high quality Stainless Steel, which has been designed and tested to deliver perfect balance and weight distribution for comfortable use over an extended period of time. The SurmountWay Lawn Levelling Rake lets you rake a wide strip in one pass. The rake head is 75cm wide and 25cm long and is one of the largest in our review. The entire levelling tool – handle and rake head – is made of heavy-duty stainless steel, with double welded joints for strength and durability.
