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

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.

I am not sure how it would work- my soil is sandy clay. However, I think if you didn't press down too hard, it would work the smaller rocks to the surface. It's not intended to work like a "big" tiller, if my ground is totally hard it just skitters around on top of it.

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.

it'll work on small pea-gravel but on the bigger stuff you may end up with it full of gravel, ive used it on dirt and concrete. works awesome.

I cleared a path for the dogs, and the trash with this and it was removing grass from the ground. It will certainly pick up gravel. You would have to be careful and tilt it back so it's not directly contacting the ground, which in turn, would leave a layer of snow/ice on your driveway.

i never tried it --only had my sons lift quite large dirt-filled pots. I would think it would work for rocks as well, but can't say for sure.

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

Sure, I can't see a reason why it wouldn't work for stones. You just have to use the correct medium for rocks.

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.

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.

I agree with Steve, you're better off with a pressure washer. It provides a little more pressure than the average nozzle, but not enough to clean stone. I have a stone patio, and I'm still going to have to purchase a pressure washer to clean it. I use this product to apply insect concentrate to my garden.

I would use a sledge hammer to break up the rock fist but this would be a great tool to help get the large rocks out of the ground. I found it grat tool to remove stumps in my yard.

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 .

Yes. Dont use if there are stones gled on. I suggest a silver cleaning cloth for that.

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 it will depend on the size of the gravel. I have rock mulch in my yard size is small about 3/8 inch on each side. I have no problem blowing leaves off the rock mulch. The rocks remain pretty much unmoved.

The short answer is yes. I don't use it for that, but it does polish rocks very well. You may wish to get the smaller model. It's a little less expensive and does the same job on a smaller load of rocks. Hope I have helped.
