    Just mulch it with a mower. Might need to do a second pass but it beats raking them up!

  2. A lawn mower.  Chopping all those leaves up is super good for your soil.

    Pay a landscaper for cleanup once a year and save the money/time/maintenance/storage of buying another piece of equipment. I love taking care of my lawn, landscaping and garden. Leaves are a pure chore to me though.

    Get a leaf sweeper to attach to your lawn tractor.

    Lawn sweeper – pull behind if you have a rider

  6. A blower and a mower, I’d blow them away from the root zone areas, so you don’t hit the roots with the mower and mess up either. Then mulch the leaves to a fine shred, then blow them back onto the roots. They’ll break down into soil and the lawn will benefit.

  7. If you don’t want to mulch you can use a lawn sweeper pulled behind a tractor.

    If they’re exceedingly heavy, I blow them into piles then use a leaf vacuum. Otherwise I just run the mower over them.

    These looks like live oak leaves. I wouldn’t mulch them all as the leaves take forever to decay and can be a bit toxic to the grass! Get yourself a lawn vac it will mulch and bag them up. Absolutely wear a mask! (Lawn care 10+ years)

    Or get a blower and send them all to one corner of the property

    A lawn mower ride over it like 3 passes it will be gone

    Personally, I find that my pressure washer with a 40 degree tip works better than any leaf blower, vacuum, or lawn blower. “Wash” into a pile, shovel/push broom onto a tarp, and dispose.

    I’m mainly dealing with a mix of grass and the pressure washer does a good job of kicking up leaves so they don’t get stuck in the grass

    Lawn vac. Pull behind a tractor or zero turn. Or just put a mulch kit on a zero turn.

  14. Stihl leaf blower and blow them into the woods.

    Powerflow bagger for your rider, or a nice mulching kit

    Lawnmower, no bag, wear dust mask. Put on some old blades or be prepared to sharpen current ones or replace them when done. Walk, inspect area for any branches that might be problematic. Raise blades to highest position. Go for it. Try to shoot the clippings to the base of the trees.

  17. There’s actually a fence you can get forget the name but essentially you just push it and it has a catch the leaves get caught in chamber and then you can either mulch it or throw away.

  18. I just drive over my leaves with the lawn mower until there are no more leaves

    Lawn mowers create suction to function. Just lower the deck and mulch it.

    A lawn mower. Just mow that shit down and let it feed the soil.

    Lawn mower – mulch it. That’ll help your soil and you won’t have to spend $$ on fertilizers.
