I did not know there was such a thing as a heavy-duty Lawn Rake. I have a patio that is done in bricks, and they look like a roller coaster track. I need to take them up and level up the ground. The lawn rake appears to be just want I needed. It has a very sturdy handle and base. It is made of stainless steel, which should hold up very well. The directions were in the box and easy to follow to put together. This summer, I will be using this lawn rake to smooth out gravel that will be going under the downspout. It will also be used to level the dirt and get my garden ready to plant. This lawn rake is very impressive.
