Rake assembly

A rake assembly comprising:

• a base with a coupling to attach to a handle, and sized to extend laterally from the coupling;
• a plurality of tines extending from the base, away from the coupling, wherein the plurality of tines is parallel, and is curved at distal ends of the tines;
• and
• a sidewall extending from the base to collectively provide a shovel concavity with the base and the plurality of tines.

A rake assembly comprising:

• a base with a coupling to attach to a handle, and sized to extend laterally from the coupling;
• a plurality of tines extending from the base, away from the coupling, wherein the plurality of tines is parallel, and curved at distal ends of the tines, wherein the plurality of tines has a width that is greater than a thickness of the tines, wherein the plurality of tines is spaced apart laterally by a spacing that is less than the width of the tines, wherein a plurality of apertures is formed through the plurality of tines, wherein the plurality of tines is spaced apart laterally by a plurality of gaps, wherein a length of the gaps is sequentially shortened laterally away from the coupling, wherein a proximal end of the tines are coplanar or tangent to the base;
• and
• a sidewall extending from a proximal end of the base and from lateral sides of the base, to collectively provide a shovel concavity with the base and the plurality of tines, wherein the sidewall is curved along the lateral sides of the base to converge with the plurality of tines.
