Makes a pile from garden tools at home (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rakes in

'makes a pile' is the definition.
(as in raking in a lot of money)

'garden tools at home' is the wordplay.
'garden tools' becomes 'rakes' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at home' becomes 'in' (similar in meaning).
'rakes'+'in'='RAKES IN'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for rakes in that I've seen before include "profits quickly" , "earns large amounts" , "makes a lot of money" , "gets paid" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
