# How to Clean Gravel Out of Grass
Whether you have a pathway made of gravel or you have filled a child's play area with it, the tiny pieces of rock can end up in your lawn. When errant pieces of gravel invade the blades of grass, you don't have to resort to crawling around and picking up each piece. Instead, you can employ one of two methods, depending on the amount of gravel you have to remove.
Things You'll Need

Plug an extension cord into an outlet that's as close to the clean-up area as possible. Plug the indoor/outdoor vacuum cord into the extension cord.

Vacuum up the pieces of gravel using the hose attachment. Take the vacuum to the appropriate dump site. Open the holding tank and dump out the gravel.
