Gravel on grass?

[mike paulson]

what are you guys out there doing to get your gravel driveways off your lawns and back on the driveway, after a winter like the one we just had where I pretty much plowed my entire drive onto my grass.

I using my bucket to pick that white sheeat up and dropped a bit of gravel in the yard, cussed like hell,

I hand picked up about 3 five gallon buckets worth about 3 weeks ago.....

aint no easy answer, landscape rake maybe. Back drag the bucket.....

This is a good question. What I started doing as the snow started melting is picked through the pile of snow and gravel with my bucket. I the dumped the snow and gravel mix on my driveway. The snow melts and some of the gravel is back on the driveway. Not all of it mind you. This also gives me another reason to use my tractor.

Look into getting a pine needle, or a straw rake.

A landscape rake does a pretty good job. Go pretty slow.

Stihl br600 backpack blower - it's almost too easy! I blow all the gravel from the lawn into a windrow in the center of the driveway then regrade it.

I've seen those power broom attachments on a string trimmer powerhead (Sthil) work mint.

Doesn't hurt your lawn but gets all the rocks and dirt back where it belongs.

I have one of these and it works great but you have to use it before the grass starts to grow or the grass will just be pushed over the small gravel and just ride over it.

Yeppers I tried the same thing this year, it actually worked pretty good, I used the Back Scrape Blade and went around the edges and took the foot or so of snow/rock from the grass and moved it onto the driveway... Ended up doing pretty well only doing about 1/4 of the handpicking this year,,,
