leaf rake

Autumn cleanup implement

A leaf rake is a lightweight rake with a fan-shaped head of flexible tines, designed for gathering leaves and light debris without damaging grass or soil.

The tines are typically made of metal, plastic, or bamboo and spread wide to cover more ground than a garden rake: I need to buy a new leaf rake before fall.
