Our house is new construction and the builders didn't clean up the extra rocks & gravel around the property, would this work to remove those rocks?

I purchased it for my uncle's 10 acre property, mostly to clean up brush and weeds. It does smooth the soil, and will move rocks and gravel around, but I dont think it would be effective to actually remove them. We did use it for grading some areas on the property that were heavy with gravel, but the gravel is still there - just leveled out.

No. I have one of these to fluff and spread my 3/4" rock driveway and it does a killer job. Makes it look like new but it won't do the job on anything bigger as you are trying to do

I doubt it. We use it to break up clods of dirt and manure, and to rake the arena. It does a pretty good job at that, but anything heavy like a boulder it bounces over, and it does catch debris in the tines.

Not large to medium implanted rocks. This would be more for grading pebble size rocks.

No it's just going to move them around but not around enough to collect them in one spot. My main use is to cut and grind up weeded dirt lots.

I don't think so. The soil I was preparing was rock hard, so ended up loosening it with a spading fork and removing large rocks.

It probably could, but only for loose gravel. It would be best to use a box scraper for that. You could add some weight to it and get a better result. When I add weight to mine, I just wire a wood pallet on top of it.

I would think so, once the suction starts, it can even suck up small rocks. But, if you just let the water/sand mixture drain into a bucket, you could just rinse it off and put it back in your tank.

Only if you have the opening directly on the ground, if unit is held an inch or 2 above the ground it will not pick up rocks.

The tenants that had rented a house that I own had used small rocks in the yard as a decorative garden. In time the rocks became part of the soil. I did not have any problems using the tiller. I did have better tilling when I pulled the tiller toward me for hard clay.

Dirt and gravel, unless largely clumped, should sift right through the rake. I'd say yes. It should work good on that surface.

I am guessing. If the rocks are flat--probably not. If the rocks are not flat it would probably work.

If you have a low-pile carpet, like a Berber or an area rug, it would probably do o.k. We have a pretty high-pile, and it doesn't do well on that. Ours has never been outside (potential rocks from outside would scratch our wood floors), but I'm sure it would work great, especially on a smoother concrete, asphalt, or garage floor. I think it would even work fine on an aggregate. Hope that helps!

We do have some crushed rocks along side our cement walkway and mulched beds. We had some mulch in the stones that I tried to blow back into the flower bed, but some of the stones did blow into the flower beds. Not many, but enough that I had to rake and pick them out.

If you have any gravel I don't think it would work to well. You could lift it up a little so that it doesn't throw the rocks.

It's small and electric so I would say no. I guess it depends on how rocky (small rocks or stones?) It does an ok job but if the soil hasn't been turned over before it's going to be a bit of a chore. You will need ot make sure there are no roots as well.

I think the gravel would tear up the material with wear and tear. I have mine on wooden floors in the house.

I haven't used it for that , but I doubt it would do that . It may remove some , depends on how bad the deposits are too .

It can depending on how small the gravel is. If the gravel is too large the tines will just grab it and drag it along. You may need to add some weight too it to ensure a good level appearance.

We have not had to use it for that but according to the contractor that told us about this he said that it removes everything. I would try a very small spot and see what happens.

Yes it will stop rocks have had it happen a couple of times not too sure of sharp objects
