ABSTRACT:
A one-piece leveling device for smoothing and leveling granular materials comprising a rigid flat elongated body having upper and lower portions, each a predetermined configuration, aperture means located in the upper portion of the body for aid in gripping the device by hand, and a plurality of spaced-apart conically-shaped finger elements of a predetermined configuration formed into the lower portion of the body, said finger elements defining a plurality of spaces located between each finger element such that the shape of the spaces is substantially the same as the inverted shape of the finger elements, whereby in use the finger elements extend into the surface of the granular material and, when moved in a forward or backward direction, smooth and level any irregularities in the surface thereof.
