For the lawn care pros: How do you get gravel out of the grass??
We have a 1/4 mile long gravel driveway...
Every winter, the snow plow scrapes all the gravel off the driveway and into the grass. It is a major, time consuming clean-up project. So what do you do for your customers to get the gavel back to its home? Saw this on facebook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3dlSM0FMr4 https://www.echo-usa.com/Products/Pr...es/99944200620 Is it worth $350? Do you have a better solution? Thanks |

Effective, but comes with a level of danger. A few years ago I was doing some spring clean up of leaves, and a small piece of river rock had snuck out of a rock bed and was hiding under some leaves out back. When I hit it with the mower, it launched it towards the porch room and broke a window, flew all the way across the room, and broke another window on the other side.

Make the driveway wider and use a V plow to stop putting the gravel in the grass in the first place. When the snow melts, blade the ridges back across the drive.
Oh and mother **** that manual labor for a few rocks on a 1/4 mile lane. Life is too short. |

I am no farmer, but I would think you can poke around and find something similar. In the spring I "plow" the yard edge and move the gravel back on to the drive. Limited success. |

There is a video of it doing just that on Youtube. Also once again it looks like a pain in the ass and a rake would be faster.
As chainsaw and drop that bitch its a nocuous weed.

Update!
Rented a power sweep for the entire weekend for $80. WORTH EVERY PENNY! In 7 hours swept large amounts of gravel. Unfortunately, still have 1/2 to go. It snowed this week so everything is covered this weekend...and supposed to rain next weekend. I will be buying one before next spring. Shindaiwa???? Never heard of them. Chinese? https://www.amazon.com/Shindaiwa-PS3...wa+power+broom |
