My pecan trees hang over a portion of my yard that is covered in dime sized decorative rocks. Will product pick those up, too?

The pecans have a smooth surface that makes them easy to pick up. Rocks are more difficult since the size and texture varies, and small or thin ones (like shale) fall through easily. Anything consistently the size of a pecan should be easy to pick up.

I have inadvertantly picked up small rocks when picking up pecans in soft soil. I would think it would work just fine as long as the rocks were round and not flat otherwise they will just fall through the mesh.

The pecan picker-upper operates as springs and will also pick up the rocks whichcould be separated and returned to the rock pile.

It might but if they are solid and not lava rocks they might be to heavy. But really not sure. Sorry.

It would depend on how large, especially how wide the oak leaves are. If they are the typical oak leaves which are more vertical than horizontal, and about 1-2" wide, I'd say yes. However, the instructions state that you shouldn't vacuum up sticks or small rocks. I think this may apply to acorns too. The sycamore leaves that the Toro won't vacuum up are large and round, about 5-6" in diameter. Hope this was helpful.

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.

They should. I did pink and white flowers and it came out really pretty and they do cover the tree.

For me, it picks up very fine dirt, leaves, those darn spinner seeds but it won't pick up any pebbles. If they are very tiny it gets a few but not anything even close to the size of a pea. But those don't bother me as long as all the dirt around them goes away.

I just bought this and tried it today. We have lots of rocks - big, little, and large sizes. Soil is sandy/loamy like. Yes it drags up rocks that are close to the surface. No way around it. Even using the smooth side... still brings up rocks. I gather if one continues to use it, eventually maybe no more rocks?

Yes it will. I have an oak tree in my front yard and the acorns and the leaves were eaten and mulched!

I would think it would work to just sprinkle the granules over the rocks. When you water, the granules would slowly dissipate over time sinking down into the roots. That's just MY opinion.

Check the dimensions it was smaller that I thought . It could probly go over small rocks

I'm not sure how big the river rock pieces are. I think the shovel is very sturdy, but having moved river rock before, I think it would take a long time with this or any other "shovel". It would be hard to get "under" and pick up very much at once. Perhaps some kind of "flat" shovel would be better if it's done by hand ??

I did not have any problems with that. I have a rock landscaped front yard with multiple bushes and shrubs. This killed the weeds where is spread it but none of the decorative shrubs were damaged at all.

Pretty sure it will. Mine picked up rocks, so I had to be ultra careful. If the acorns are out of the shell, they'll be toast with this unit. Hope it helps.

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.

This is a great product for pecans. We bought several for friends and relatives. Yes, most definitely it picks up

The pecans That I used it to pick up were small to medium. They have one for larger nuts as well.

The pecan picker upper has springs 3/8 inches apart. I feel acorns with diameter of more than 3/8 inches could be picked up, but the springs are stiff and the acorn shell would be damaged. I suggest you gently rake the acorns into piles and pick them up by hand if you wish to have nice looking acorns.
