Tines sit 0.7 in apart across a 36 in head, close enough to catch small stones and clippings that a garden rake lets through - the spacing is what makes this a landscape rake rather than a leaf rake. Each tine is 2.5 in long. Aluminum construction weighs 3.5 lbs, so a wide head does not become tiring, and it will not rust when left out after a job. The handle runs 68 in for upright work. It levels gravel, clears cut grass and grades soil before turf or seed goes down.
