while plowing snow off my driveway this winter, i moved a lot of gravel onto my yard. is there any implement i can use to get the gravel back in the driveway besides a leaf rake(unless there is a powered one!)

They make a powered gravel thrower that a weedeater type motor on it. Remember the old garden plow that had the cylinder type wheel on it that broke up the ground and had the thin cultivator blades on the back? This thing is made almost like that except that the cylinder part has rubber flaps on it. Flips that gravel out of your grass like nothing you,ve ever seen. Marvelous!! The building and grounds guys where I work rented a couple of them at a tool rental place. They said they've been out a couple or three years now.

I usually plow or rake them off but I have always wondered how a dethatching blade on a mower would work?

don't make this difficult. If you plowed your driveway of snow I assume you have a tractor mounted blade. Use it ot move the gravel back on to the drove. If you let it float it won't tear up the grass roots.

I don't know the best way to remove gravel from grass, but seeing this topic, I had to share my neighbor's method. I stopped in a couple of years ago and my neighbor was out in his yard with a shop vac. He would suck the gravel out of his lawn and dump the container back in his driveway.

A power broom does a great job especially if you do it while the grass is dry before it greens up and starts to grow.
I am using a self propelled walk behind unit as it saves from having to hook up each time.
Found this one used at a rental oufit for less than a used tractor attachment. I had rented one for several years before I had my own.
Sure saves a lot of work.

the best tool i'v ever seen for moving rocks in grass is a 12year old,just make sure to give him the lawnmower with the sharpest blades and tell him to watch out for the rocks, that way he's sure to move the most rocks!!!don't try giving him the rake they don't fit the hands of 12year olds anymore? seriously if there is enough gravel you may try using the back edge of the blade on a dry day to move the worst of the gravel back on to the drive then finish up with a rake.

Try the Binford 7500 leaf & gravel blower.

I use a 3pt power broom if the ground is dry enough.It may take a small amount of grass,but it will not tear up the sod. You can use a leaf blower to blow the clippings back.
