Levelling rake for smoothing soil or sand on a lawn or for paving work
Levelling rake or Nivelleerhark ATLAS with a wide, rectangular galvanised steel blade measuring 75 by 26 cm, fitted with 5 steel ribs, complete with a hardwood ATLAS handle 150 cm long and 3.2 cm in diameter.
The ATLAS levelling rake has a wide, open steel blade with steel ribs and is used for leveling a lawn or sand bed. Distributing loose soil or soil amendments during landscaping work is also easy with the levelling rake.
By moving the levelling rake back and forth, the soil or sand is distributed and smoothed. In addition to leveling the subsoil, the levelling rake also breaks up small clods and lumps. Stones, small roots and other debris are also raked out, after which they can be removed.
Lawn leveling with a levelling rake
On an existing lawn the levelling rake is used to distribute soil, sand, compost or other soil amendments. For example after scarifying, when overseeding and during lawn renovation. Because of the rake’s wide surface, uneven spots and hollows are easily filled. This restores a previously uneven lawn to a smooth surface.
When establishing a new lawn, the levelling rake is used to smooth the soil and remove stones, small roots and other debris. This creates a nice, flat base for sowing grass seed or laying sod.
Leveling a sand bed with a levelling rake
For paving work, the sand bed can first be leveled with the levelling rake before screeding. The sand bed will then already be largely even. In addition, most stones and other debris are removed from the top layer, so they won’t interfere during screeding.
The ATLAS levelling rake is also used for leveling a stabilized base before it is compacted with a plate compactor.
