Abstract

The turner for turning over and thickening a settled layer of an aggregate landscaping mulch material lying on a surface, includes a handle and a rolling head carried on the handle for rotation about an axis. The rolling head includes axially spaced endcaps supported about the axis, and elongate strips extending between the endcaps at radially spaced locations around the axis. The strips are oriented so as to have at least generally flat opposite surfaces extending in directions of the rotation, and including elongate, generally radially outwardly extending projections or lifters disposed at axially spaced locations therealong, such that the handle can be held to push or pull and roll the rolling head across a region of the layer of the landscaping mulch material such that the projections or lifters will penetrate into the mulch material and lift and reorient portions thereof to thicken the layer, without substantially disturbing the underlying surface, and the strips define cavities therebetween for receiving the mulch material, for improving the movement of the rolling head over the mulch material.
