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

Product Information

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. 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. 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. 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.

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. 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.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. 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. Look for rake heads made of tempered steel as that has enough strength to break up clumped and hard soil. None of the models I reviewed claimed to have the head made of this material.

Lawn Leveller Rake is the multi-purpose tool for UK lawns, gardens, DIY projects and professional landscaping. 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 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 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.

It’s easy to use and durable, with the heavy-duty stainless steel base designed to stand the test of time. 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.
