A rake is designed either to move soil or to move what is lying on top of it, and the two are not interchangeable. A garden rake has short rigid steel tines for levelling and breaking down soil. A lawn rake has long springy tines that pass over the surface and gather without digging in. Using the wrong one either scratches the lawn or fails to move the soil, so the type is settled first.
Head width sets how much ground each pass covers and how much resistance the user feels. A narrow rake at 1.2m on a long handle works between plants and into corners. An extra wide plastic leaf rake covers open lawn quickly with little effort because leaves weigh nothing.
Adjustable heads solve both problems in one tool, closing from 570mm down to 190mm so the same rake works across open lawn and then between shrubs. A telescopic rake changes the handle length rather than the head. A telescopic rake changes the handle length rather than the head, which suits reaching under shrubs.
Scarifying is a separate job again. A harrow rake pulls moss and thatch out of a lawn rather than gathering what is on the surface, which is heavy work and needs steel rather than plastic. A landscaping rake with an ash shaft levels larger ground.
