The landscape rake has several uses, one is to prepare the gound around a new housing site by raking out of the ground all the pieces of boards and such that was left behind just under the surface. Another use is to raks rock out of an area to be planted with something. Still another is to be used as a blade in grading a road, which means you need gauge wheels to control depth. I use my to rake the yard of leaves and down tree branches, I have raked my drive way but without gauge wheels it does not as well as my drag.
