It's amazing we all have 1/4 mile driveways! For spreading fine material, i find the most control with a box blade. When the driveway needs "resurfacing" I use my Harley power rake. It "digs" down about 2" and lays it out butter smooth on the back side. I use it for my driveway and several commercial parking lots.
The power rakes seem to be the ideal attachment for chewing up and smoothing. I see you're in Vermont, I've been wondering lately if power rakes would be an appropriate tool for chewing up the upper surface of ice that builds up on roads (gravel) during winter especially after quick rains. I'm thinking their use may be a sanding substitute. Have you ever used your rake on ice?
