Levelling rake for leveling soil or sand on a lawn or in paving work
Levelling rake or ATLAS leveling rake 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 improvers during garden construction work is also easy with the levelling rake.
By moving the levelling rake back and forth, the soil or sand is spread and leveled. In addition to leveling the surface, 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.
Leveling a lawn with a levelling rake
On an existing lawn, the levelling rake is used to distribute soil, sand, compost or other soil improver. For example after scarifying, when overseeding and when renovating a lawn. The broad surface of the rake makes it easy to fill in uneven spots and hollows. This makes an existing lawn level and smooth again.
When creating a new lawn, the levelling rake is used to level the soil and remove stones, small roots and other debris. This creates a nice, flat surface for sowing grass seed or laying turf.
Leveling a sand bed with a levelling rake
When paving, the sand bed can first be leveled with the levelling rake before screeding. The sand bed is then already largely level. In addition, most stones and other debris have been removed from the top layer, so they do not get in the way during screeding.
The ATLAS levelling rake is also used for leveling stabilised base material before it is compacted with a vibrating plate.
