Made of metal, the bow rake is the workhorse of the rake varieties and is particularly useful when you do your own landscaping projects, seasonal mulching, or have a gravel driveway. When choosing a shrub rake, look for a handle that can telescope in out and out which is a convenient feature for some yards.īow Rake – The best choice for leveling sand and dirt or any materials that are heavier than leaves, a bow rake is thicker and shorter than a leaf rake.

Usually made of either bamboo, plastic, or metal, the most gentle rake tines are made of bamboo and are used when raking over garden beds or groundcovers. Variations between rakes lie in the type of material used to make the tines. It comes in a range of widths up to thirty inches and a long handle with tines fanning out to form a triangle.
