An improved rake is provided with a tine end section having downwardly projecting leaf-engaging tine ends and a unitary support section which connects the tine end section to a rake handle. Pile-handling bars extend from the unitary support section in the same direction as the leaf-engaging tine ends, and are substantially spaced from the tine end section. These bars, with the leaf-engaging tine ends and the unitary support section, provide a chamber in which material can accumulate.
