Will it pick up pine needles without picking up pea gravel/small rocks? Also, will it pick up ficus tree "berries" from a lawn?

It will pick up the pea gravel and small rocks with the leaves. Don't know about the berries.

It is a great vacum, but would pick up gravel as well, you would be best to blow the line needles and then pick up from non gravel area

I dont have pine trees, and dont get pine needles, but as long as they are floating on the top it should pick them up. It picks up leaves,spiders bugs and even small frogs.

I have not tried it on pine needles, but i have sucked up alot of twigs I thought would not go through. If you get to many at one time they will get bunched up in the start of the shute and you will have to pop it on the ground some to clear it.

I believe it will pick up the stones with the nuts. It is a wonderful tool . When I first used it I accidentally picked up a magnolia tree burr and it wedged th splines open and my pecans fell out. I also found that twigs are not its friend. I actually am going to purchase the larger one for quicker gathering.

Not only will it pick up small tree limbs but large ones as well. I even pick up brick with it and place it on my hand. Tough tool and great for the back. No bending or stooping.

In my limited experience, if the pine needles are dry, it does OK. It gets stuck alot if they are wet. It is not a vacuum cleaner but does OK in picking up some of our pine needles. Works great on leaves, even if they are not entirely dry.

Maybe,,,, I purchased to pick up small leaves, junk in the lawn. Like some of the others,,, does miss some I would give it about 60%,,, windy 40% I have Bermuda grass,,,, I have very small tress have not used it the fall for a big job of raking... It does pick up the dried grass ( I use a grass catcher when I mow) leaves spots sometimes,,,, so when I go over the these spots it does pick up 50% I'm Okay with the product Not Excited A lot of the stuff flicks out of the front,, if you lower or elevate the opening gets bigger so stuff flicks out,,, if you get the cover down to ground to hard to roll..tears the grass up Again it's ok Probably would not recommend,, but a better quality sweeper..

Sue, by maple seeds are you talking about what the kids play with as "helicopters?" If so, then yes, the litter stick would stab and pick those up easily. The business end of the litter stick is very sharp and precise, so I think it would pick up maple seeds with no problem at all. Hope this helps you!

I'm sure it would. I have put blackberry vines, pine and cypress branches, corn stalks and grapevines through it along with piles of leaves. It got clogged a little with pine needles but was easy to free it up.

We have that darned stuff in our yard too. The Weed remover works pretty darned well, as long as your ground is damp from spring rains. Once it gets hard and dry, not so good. It's really kind of fun to pull the thistles and dandilions out using this device -- as long as the ground is damp, that is.

It picks them up, but not as well as it picks up larger nuts. The flexible wires are almost too far apart for small nuts like acorns although I have picked some up a few times. Generally I rake acorns and pick them up with a shovel.

It will pick it up, mine picked up a frog so im sure it will pick up pebbles, as far as it knocking more stuff it wont.

Thank you for replying. I have a flowerbed filled in with river rock that I have been having difficulty removing pine needles from. I don't want to get every last one but it looks shabby the way it it.

No. The bag is intended for leaves. While picking up leaves you will get some grass clippings mixed with leaves, but you can't use it strictly for clippings due to the weight.

My experience is that yes it will pick up larger objects. Haven't experienced nuts before but it has picked up large leaves and small pebbles. You will have to brush the curved walls. It will do okay but won't get everything from walls even when they aren't curved.

I don't actually have nuts in my yard, nor do I have much familiarity with how big most nuts are, right off the tree, except for walnuts. I think it would pick up walnuts without any difficulty. The Sweet Gum tree balls are about an inch in diameter, and the pine cones it picked up were about an inch in diameter and about 3 inches long.
