A multipurpose drain tool including a drain shovel DROVEL? and pry bar. The multipurpose drain tool includes a drain tool shaft, a proximal pry bar, and a distal drain shovel. The drain tool shaft carries at least one rubber hand grip, a proximal end cap, and a distal end cap. The pry bar is mounted to and extends outwardly from the proximal end cap. The drain shovel is mounted to and extends distally from the distal end cap. The multipurpose drain tool of the present invention offers a solution to the problem of clearing subsurface drains to restore drain functionality.

A weed removal system for removing weeds with a rake includes a rake that is manipulated for raking debris on ground. The rake has a handle and a head and a tube is removably coupled to the rake. A poker is removably coupled to the tube such that the poker extends beyond the head. The poker selectively penetrates the ground adjacent to a weed thereby facilitating the weed to be pried out of the ground.

A leaf removal apparatus designed to safely and efficiently remove leaves, twigs and other debris from lawns. When pushed independently or mounted flush with the front facing blade of a lightweight snow shovel, long pole, or other long pole tool, the apparatus can be used by a person walking behind the device and pushing it in a snow plowing motion eliminating the need for raking and saving time. It may be formed of cardboard, plastic, lightweight metal, screen or other appropriate material. This apparatus is a one-piece device comprised of a flat or pouched gathering area with each side curved or folded inward to hold in the leaves and other yard waste. The apparatus may be attached to the long pole device, most appropriately to a snow shovel, with slots, brackets, tape, hooks, Velco, clips, straps, ties or other suitable attachment methods. The apparatus may be varying height and width. When pushing the device in a snow plowing motion, leaves are pushed upward and forward removing debris from the lawn and depositing into large piles for disposal.

A soil conserving shovel and grate attachment that aid a user in removing and reclaiming soil from a recently removed plant by abrading the plant's rootball back and forth against the shovel and apparatus. In addition, methods of using a shovel and grate attachment instruct a user how to efficiently reclaim soil from a plant rootball. Also described is a method of manufacturing a shovel or grate attachment that can be used for rootball thinning,

A combination yard tool assembly for raking, receiving and moving leaves includes a blade that has a scalloped edge. The scalloped edge is used to rake leaves and receive the leaves on the blade. The blade comprises a front side, a back side, a top edge, a bottom edge, a first lateral edge and a second lateral edge. The front side is concavely arcuate from the bottom edge to the top edge. The bottom edge comprises a serrated edge that includes a plurality of alternating concave indentations and points. The indentations extend inwardly from the front edge a distance greater than 1.5 inches. A plurality of ridges is attached to the front side and extends outwardly therefrom. A handle is attached to the blade and extends upwardly therefrom.

A soil manipulating device for digging and raking soil includes a base plate, which defines a first plane and which has a first edge that is attached to a first end of a shaft. A set of tines is attached to and extends from a second edge of the base plate. Each tine defines an associated second plane and has opposed edges, which are serrated. At least one of the tines has an associated second plane which intersects the first plane. The shaft can be grasped in one or both hands of a user, positioning the user to insert the tines into soil to manipulate the soil by using the tines to cut into the soil. Various embodiments of soil manipulators can be used to perform a variety of digging and raking tasks while in a substantially upright posture and in a lowered posture, such as while sitting or knelling.
