Thats all I use to move my mulch . I have the aluminum and rigid plastic kind.
I have found that the plastic kind does not make as much scraping noise on the driveway in the early morning when I start as the sun comes up.

You get nice heavy scoops and the shovel weighs almost nothing and it get close to the ground.
However I still use fertilizers with the wood chip/leaf soil supplement, I can't get away from that.

Ace & Sears normally have better quality and discounted prices when you shop online & pick-up at the store.
