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 |

LOL now I've seen everything. I want one.
For 20 years I've been hand raking the gravel that gets dropped in the yard when I blade the snow off my gravel driveway. |

Just splurge and asphalt your driveway so you don't have to dick with rutting up your drive and replacing the gravel over time.

Flood the yard with antifreeze.
Your welcome.

That 100% is worth $350. Would take a day long project and turn it into an hour.

Other than asphalt, that would be worth it. Make the kid do it.
Next time someone in the area is doing a parking lot, tell them that if they have extra, you will pay them to do your driveway. Someone found the farmhouse and dad paid to have it done.

I became so frustrated I quit have my drive plowed. The rocks in the lawn were not worth it. Those gravel spinners work, the last plow guy bashed a wall and used one during clean up.

Run over it with the lawn mower and have it shoot it out.

Damn a 1/4 mi of gravel is not a driveway its a lane lol. I would wait for a hot summer day and do a chip and seal.
The posted video didnt look like gravel but there are a couple other that were and it did ok but slow going. Dont know that you would gain any benefit over a rake especially in the back department. A property with that long a drive you surely have a tractor? Get a rake or brush attachment and your in business.
