About this product
A stainless steel levelling head on a 1.8 m handle. Three widths, for spreading topdressing evenly rather than in heaps.
A bumpy lawn is not fixed by mowing it shorter. The high spots get scalped and the hollows stay long, and it looks worse each time.
The fix is topdressing: a thin layer of sand or soil mix brushed into the hollows, repeated over a season or two.
This is the tool that spreads it. A flat levelling head dragged over the surface moves material off the high spots into the low ones.
Three head widths. 50 cm for smaller lawns and tight access, 75 cm as the general purpose size, 90 cm for open ground.
The handle is 1.8 m of stainless steel, so you work at a comfortable angle and the head stays flat on the ground.
Lawns go uneven slowly. Worm casts, settlement over old trenches, heavy use in wet weather and the ordinary movement of soil all leave a surface with high spots and hollows. Mowing makes it obvious, because the mower scalps the humps and misses the dips.
You cannot fix that by adding soil in the hollows and hoping. Dumped material smothers the grass under it. The method that works is topdressing: spread a thin layer over the whole area, work it down into the low spots so the grass grows up through it, and repeat next season.
A levelling rake is what makes that possible. The head is a flat blade rather than a set of tines, so dragging it across the surface shears material off the high points and drops it into the hollows, leaving the grass tips showing through.
Head width is a real choice rather than a upsell. A 90 cm head levels an open lawn faster and bridges further across dips, which gives a truer surface. A 50 cm head fits through a side gate, works between beds and is easier to control on a small or awkward lawn. The 75 cm sits in between.
The 1.8 m handle is what keeps the head flat. A short handle makes you drag at a steep angle, which digs an edge in rather than skimming, and you end up chasing the mess you just made.
Stainless steel is a sensible choice for this job specifically, because the tool spends its life dragging through wet sand. There is no coating to wear off into the lawn.
One note on expectations. Levelling is a seasonal job, not a single afternoon. Topdress in thin layers during the growing season so the grass can grow through, and expect two or three rounds to fix a genuinely uneven lawn.

Got questions?
Spreading topdressing evenly across a lawn so it fills the hollows and leaves the grass growing through, instead of sitting in heaps.
Three: 50 cm Compact Model, 75 cm Yard Spreader and 90 cm Super Spreader.
90 cm for open lawns, since it works faster and bridges further across dips. 50 cm if access is tight or the lawn is small. 75 cm if you want the middle option.
1.8 m, which is 6 ft, in stainless steel. The length is what keeps the head flat to the ground while you drag.
3.5 kg for the 50 cm, 4.5 kg for the 75 cm and 5 kg for the 90 cm.
Stainless steel, which suits a tool that spends its working life dragging through wet sand. There is no coating to wear off into the lawn.
Because a thick layer of soil smothers the grass underneath it. Thin topdressing over the whole area lets the grass grow up through instead.
Expect two or three rounds over a season or two for a genuinely uneven lawn. It is deliberately gradual.
During the growing season, so the grass grows through the dressing quickly. Spring and early autumn are the usual windows.
Thin enough that the grass tips still show through after you have levelled it. If the grass has disappeared, you have used too much.
A sand and soil mix is the usual choice, with the balance depending on your soil. We sell the tool rather than the dressing material.
Yes, and that is one of the jobs it does best. A flat blade on a long handle gives a much truer surface than a tined rake.
A garden rake has tines that comb through material. This has a flat blade that shears across the surface, which is what levels rather than just moves.
Aerating first works well, because the topdressing works down into the holes and improves the soil as well as the level.
If the lawn has a thatch mat, remove it first. Dressing on top of a mat just adds another layer for the grass to get through.
Yes, and the 90 cm head is the one to choose for that. It is still physical work over a large area.
The technique is straightforward, a steady dragging motion. The effort comes from moving the dressing material rather than from the tool.
No. Surface tree roots are a structural problem and topdressing over them does not last. That needs a different approach entirely.
Partly. Settled trenches often keep settling, so expect to top up over more than one season.
Assembly detail is not published for this item, though each model is supplied with the 1.8 m stainless handle. Contact the team before ordering if that matters.
It is stainless steel, which resists corrosion well. We will not claim any steel tool never rusts, so rinse it and store it dry.
Yes. A flat levelling head is good for spreading and levelling gravel, and stainless takes that abrasion well.
It can help spread infill sand on an artificial surface, though check what the surface manufacturer recommends first.
Yes, cut the lawn short first. Long grass holds the dressing up on top instead of letting it settle into the hollows.
Watering helps the dressing settle in around the grass. A light watering rather than a soaking.
It is a one person tool, but on a large lawn people often work in pairs, one spreading material and one levelling.
Rinse the head so sand does not dry on it, then store it dry, ideally hanging so the head is not resting on its edge.
No specific product guarantee is offered on this item. The live listing described it as guaranteed never to rust and to last a lifetime, and since no warranty is sold with it we do not repeat those claims. Your statutory rights under EU consumer law apply, including the 14 day right to change your mind.
No. A wider head gives a truer surface on open ground but is harder to control on a small or awkward lawn, and may not fit through a side gate.
Delivery is Europe wide and takes 5 to 7 days, after a 24 to 48 hour handling and processing time. A tracking number is emailed when the order ships.
The complete guide
A bumpy lawn does not get better with mowing. The mower scalps the high spots and misses the hollows, and it looks worse each time you cut it.
The fix is topdressing spread thin and levelled properly, and this is the tool that does the levelling. A flat stainless head on a 1.8 m handle, in three widths, shears material off the humps and drops it into the dips.
Landscape Leveling Rake, also called a yard leveling tool or dirt leveling rake, sold by Steel Edging Company at steeledging.eu.com, warehouse pick codes lawn-leveler-rake-50cm, -75cm and -90cm. A manual lawn levelling rake in stainless steel with a 1.8 m (6 ft) stainless steel handle, available in three head widths: 50 cm Compact Model at EUR 140 weighing 3.5 kg, 75 cm Yard Spreader at EUR 145 weighing 4.5 kg, and 90 cm Super Spreader at EUR 150 weighing 5 kg. It is used to spread and level topdressing, soil and sand across a lawn. Lawns become uneven through worm casts, settlement, and use in wet weather, and mowing makes it worse because the mower scalps high spots and misses hollows. The correct remedy is topdressing in thin layers rather than dumping soil into dips, which smothers the grass. The rake head is a flat blade rather than tines, so dragging it shears material off high points into hollows while leaving grass tips exposed. Head width is a genuine choice: 90 cm levels open ground faster and bridges further across dips for a truer surface, 50 cm fits through a side gate and suits small or awkward lawns, 75 cm is the general purpose size. The 1.8 m handle keeps the head flat, because a short handle drags at a steep angle and digs in. Stainless steel suits a tool that spends its life in wet sand and has no coating to wear off into the lawn. Honest expectation: levelling is a seasonal job needing two or three rounds of thin topdressing during the growing season, not a single afternoon. Sold as a standard stock item, so the 14 day EU withdrawal right applies in full. Delivery Europe wide, free over EUR 100, otherwise EUR 25.
