Burgon & Ball - RHS Stainless Shrub Rake – Precision Leaf & Debris Collector

Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Shrub Rake – Precision Leaf & Debris Collector

The Burgon & Ball RHS Stainless Shrub Rake is a highly maneuverable hand tool designed to reach where full-sized rakes cannot. Featuring flat tines that are specifically engineered to gather leaves and debris rather than stabbing them, it allows for a clean sweep of garden beds. By easily clearing out organic matter from beneath dense shrubs, this tool helps eliminate the damp hiding spots preferred by slugs and snails, promoting a healthier garden ecosystem.

Best For: Gardeners needing to clear leaves and debris from under low-hanging shrubs, around delicate perennials, or within tight garden borders.

Key Features

• Non-Stabbing Flat Tines: The stainless steel prongs are flat-profiled to efficiently gather leaves into a pile without piercing them, ensuring a smoother and more effective collection process.

• Compact Maneuverability: At only 13cm wide, this rake is the perfect size for navigating the narrow gaps between established plants and the awkward spaces under garden furniture or hedges.

• Rust-Resistant Stainless Steel: The high-quality polished head is extremely resistant to rust, ensuring it remains smooth and effective even after use in damp garden debris.

• Ergonomic Hardwood Handle: Crafted from 100% FSC-certified hardwood, the handle is shaped to provide a comfortable and secure grip for rhythmic, repetitive raking motions.

• RHS Endorsement: Officially endorsed by the Royal Horticultural Society and backed by a lifetime guarantee, representing the gold standard in specialized hand tools.

Important Note on Availability & Shipping

Our warehouse serves as our office and logistics centre rather than a retail showroom. Because we ship from multiple locations and manage high-turnover stock, not all items are available for immediate pickup.

Lead Times:

• In-Stock Items: Usually ready for dispatch the same day.
• Supplier-Dependent Items: Can take up to 2 weeks to arrive.

While we strive for fast delivery, some timelines are subject to supplier availability and are beyond our control. We appreciate your patience as we source the best quality gear for your project.
