About
A gravel rake is a sturdy landscaping tool measuring nearly 5 feet long, built to spread and level heavy stones.
Unlike lightweight leaf rakes with wide, flexible plastic fans, gravel rakes feature compact, rigid steel heads built to pull heavy aggregate. Handles generally range between 4.5 and 5.5 feet (1.4 and 1.7 meters) to provide enough leverage for adults without causing back strain. At 3.5 pounds (1.6 kilograms), this tool is more than twice as heavy as a standard yard broom, which helps the tines dig into loose rock.
From Wikipedia
A rake is a broom for outside use; a versatile horticultural implement consisting of a toothed bar fixed transversely to a handle, or tines fixed to a handle, and used to collect leaves, hay, grass, and in gardening, for loosening the soil, light weeding and to make furrows, mounds and levelling, removing dead grass from lawns, and generally for purposes performed in agriculture by the harrow. Depending on purpose, their materials and form will vary greatly.
