Raking leaves and clippings together - annoying gardening work, isn't it? A lawn sweeper can help. However, you should consider our tips when buying.
Large lawns in particular require extensive care so that they also look good. Leaf raking can therefore quickly become a task that lasts for hours. However, if you want to save yourself that in the future, then you should think about buying a lawn sweeper. Lawn sweepers collect all the leaves on the lawns neatly in their catch baskets, which means that tedious raking of the lawns is completely eliminated. But you can also easily remove clippings and smaller debris from the lawn all year round.
What does a lawn sweeper look like?
A lawn sweeper is an accessory that is available in specialist shops in different versions (size, power, etc.). You can use it as a spare part for a lawnmower or as a trailer accessory for any ride-on mower or agricultural tractor. But you can also use it as a standalone device. The prices for smaller, hand-operated lawn sweepers start at just under 100 euros and increase depending on the performance.
