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.

Just make sure that the lawn mower spout is aimed at an annoying neighbor's car and there is no issue.

you surely have a tractor
I have a semi circle 300 m long gravel driveway. I bought a little Ford 8N 1954 tractor with some attachments (plow, brush hog mower etc) 10 years ago and LOVE it. I think I paid ~$3,000. I don't know what I'd do without it.

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.

If you use Asphalt you better paint/seal it.

Leave a couple inches of snow. Never ever let your blade touch a rock.

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?
