A maintenance rake is fundamentally a lawn maintenance rake. The handle can be wooden or metal, and the tines will be plastic or flexible metal. The narrower ones will work fine but won’t last long. The gravel driveway maintenance rake is designed to drag across gravel to level it, but a multi-use tool like The Mitagator works better than a maintenance rake or gravel rake.

HOW TO USE A MAINTENANCE RAKE?
What is a maintenance rake?
A maintenance rake is a valuable commodity – really! But the maintenance rake isn’t good at getting into the matted weeds, pine needles and leaves that have dropped from your trees and are driving you mad.
Alternative ways to use a maintenance of rake:
We recommend skipping the maintenance rake and using The Mitagator Property Maintenance Tool. If you are prepared to clear debris very regularly and haven’t learned that it isn’t easy with a grass maintenance rake, just watch our videos. A leaf blower will shift debris if it hasn’t been left long enough to really bed down to the ground. Add in a tarpaulin and trailer or wheelbarrow and you don’t get the same level of clean up that you achieve with The Mitagator, and it cuts your work time by 30%-50% because it clears more material than a maintenance rake
Why Are You Taking the Raking Approach?
You are here because you have decided to use a rake to clean up yur property – but we want to change your mind.
Clearing with a gravel driveway maintenance rake by the traditional raking method doesn’t give the best results – and more importantly, the equipment doesn’t last as long as The Mitagator. An aluminum maintenance rake can lift and move needles that have been down some time and have bedded into the ground, it is precise, you can clear whichever area you choose, it is quite so doesn’t trouble neighbors, and it is quick as long as you are methodical in your approach. maintenance of rake into piles, or onto a tarpaulin makes relocating them easy – if you put them into piles then you will need a wheeled trailer or wheelbarrow, a tarpaulin is fairly easy to drag as there is little weight to them and once you have gathered them together they are fairly easy to handle.
BUYERS GUIDE
When buying a rake you need to look at several aspects of the design to make sure that you are buying the best maintenance tool for your purposes. Your choice will need to take into account the area you are looking to rake, the ground that the needles are on, and any personal fitness limitations that you have which can be compensated for by choosing the correct rake.
Handle
Maintenance rake manufacturers use a variety of materials for handles:- hardwood, aluminum, and steel are the most common materials you will find. The height and grip comfort of the handle are the two most important things for you to consider when purchasing your rake.
Although it is appealing to choose a hand maintenance rake as light as possible, lightweight metal handles are susceptible to bending if they are not treated with respect. As with all things, it’s important to let the tool do the work and not try to use brute force!
The Mitagator uses solid oak handles made in the USA.
Plastic and fiberglass handles are not as common, and for good reason, they are more inclined to break or shatter and do not offer the durability of the stronger materials.
The handle length really affects the comfort of the user after a very short period of time. This is why the adjustable handled models scored so well on our tests, for shorter (or indeed taller) people it was a pleasure to be able to make the handle suit the job in hand and save the back pain.
Many handles featured a grip area, rubberized or another material – in general, we found these to be a boon adding comfort as well as control using the rake.
Tines
Generally speaking, for all around garden use metal tines, or plastic covered metal tines, do not offer offer the best result. They are not strong, Don’t retain their shape and don’t have enough ‘spring’ to cover uneven ground effectively. They need the same care as a metal handle – wipe them down after use and store out of the elements, but with sensible storage and a modicum of care they will last for years. The Mitagator tines are made from cold-rolled steel and powder coated to prevent rust.
Rake Head Size
What sort of area are you looking to work in? If you have a large open space, and the needles are being dropped onto lawn then a larger head will suit your purpose perfectly and you can buy with confidence. If your pine tree is incorporated into landscaping on your property, and the needles drop onto beds, cultivated areas, areas of land with other shrubs or smaller trees, then access becomes an issue – in this instance you would do well to consider an adjustable headed rake so that you can use it in smaller areas without damaging other plantings.
If you do choose an adjustable rake-head then take some time to make sure that you understand how the mechanism works and secures. In tests, they were not complicated, but care had to be taken to secure them properly before use.
Straight rake heads served the purposes of our tests absolutely adequately, there are many curved heads on the market, and rakes incorporating other eye-catching designs, in use they did not seem to offer any discernable benefits.
Ease of Use
Raking is a repetitive movement and for large areas, it happens for a long period of time. Give some thought to ease of use of the tool, and make sure that you are comfortable with it. This is why the maintenance rake came out so high for lawn maintenance rakes – you can literally make them fit to protect yourself from any muscle pain or backache at the end of the day.
