   • Plastic Leaf Rake. The standard leaf rake, commonly made of plastic, is also sometimes made of bamboo. The head is fan-shaped, which suits it for gathering small items spread across the ground.
   • Lawn Rake. Also known as a "spring tine rake," this metal lawn rake is indeed springy. The key to its design is the flexibility of its tines, which make it great to use on uneven ground because it won't snag on clumps of dirt or stones.
   • Wide Leaf Rake. Consider investing in a wide leaf rake if your lawn is large. It will cost a little more than a standard lawn rake, but the additional coverage will result in less work.
   • Garden Rake. You can rake leaves with a garden rake, but its forte is clearing rough ground. The steel construction of its head makes it a go-to tool for tough jobs that a leaf rake would be too weak for.
