(If this link doesn't work for some reason, try brookstone.com, search
for lawn sweeper)

Brookstone doesn't sell even one item that's useful and reasonably
priced. Such a lawn rake would only be useful for a very small area,
like no more than 5,000 sqft, and for such small lawns I'm positive
that contraption couldn't out perform an ordinary leaf rake


I wondered how I would get all the leaves under my dogwood trees with
that lawn sweeper. A rake does the job--fast, easy, and quiet. For
the rest of the lawn I have a gas-powered backpack-style blower which
also sweeps the walks, driveway, garage, and deck.
