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

Product Information

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.

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. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Lawn Soil Leveler

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. 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.

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!). 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. 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.Levelling rakes are simple pieces of garden equipment that serve to level out the soft ground. They are wide flat rakes with a structure of bars across them. The bars have tines underneath them which, when raked across the surface of the ground, pull up debris there. The rake pushes the debris from high points on the ground into the low areas. In this way, the surface is levelled off.

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. 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. The problem is it can be difficult to get a lawn completely level with a standard rake because what you really need is a wide rake. A standard rake can also create ruts too, and this is where a specialised lawn levelling rake comes in. The Lute is consolidating the soil sand as it distributes the material. Whereas the rake is lifting (fluffing-up) the material as distributes it around the lawn.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. More space for storage (although folds flat against a wall when hung from the handy top-handle-hole, or handle easily unscrews/dis-assembles)

Better levelling ( because of greater width). Doesn’t follow every dip and hollow so deposits material in hollows better) This is one of the lighter weight lawn levellers at 3kg. This helps with the ergonomics of the unit as does the soft rubber grip on the handle. Taking all this together, your lawn levelling experience should be a comfortable one. ProsAll 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. 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.
