They remove, or apply it just fine. If you know of better ones for
doing it on a small scale, do inform the Connecticut Department of
Transportation because I see their crews out manipulating gravel with
exactly those tools on a fairly regular basis.

Of course if you need to do it on a larger scale, dump truck, backhoe,
and grader become useful.

large vaccuum, suck it up, rinse and/or screen it
again and put it back down, all in one unit. recover
the topsoil for use in other gardens, it'd probably be
pretty good stuff.
