Blow your leaves into the olds yards the day before the lawn crew shows up

I think all you guys need to buy mowers with these:

My mower has that feature and it probably costs half as much.

guys I have a serious issue. My mansion is amongst several others that are owned by old, retired people. They all pay to have their lawns maintained and leaves picked up and crap. Being that I am young (old) and handsome, I do not pay for this service. I feel super bad that I can't keep up and my leaves are ruining my life and eff oak trees, etc.

Do you think they understand? Or do you think they are super annoyed?

They absolutely don't understand and are very annoyed.

yes, they hate you

That's no reason to change anything you are doing, though.

If it bothers them so much, they can just tell their guy to pick up your leaves too

AJ we might live in the same neighborhood.

I have the same problem, I was picking up my leaves this week with a headlamp on. My neighbors are all pretty nice and understanding people, and they see me in a constant state of motion so maybe that enables their understanding. Just don't be a lazy ass in front of them and I'm sure they understand. Especially if you have kids. If you don't have kids they hate you for sure and nothing short of picking up the leaves will change that.

Here is the methond i have found most enjoyable for leaf clean up short of a $10k front mount ztr with an additional $2k bagger attachment

1. Mow the grass as short as possible

2. Use this to blow leaves into piles

3. Rake piles into this

CNS · « **Reply #1035 on:** November 18, 2016, 12:19:23 PM »

My leaf removal method:
1a. live on a hill with a good south/west exposure
1b. enjoy pretty orange, yellow, and red leaves on your very green lawn at the beginning of the leaves falling
2. mow lawn as needed
3. wait for large winds that always come this time of year
4. feel sad that all the leaves are off the trees, but enjoy how clear, green, and lush your yard is because it loves fall weather
5. don't feel bad at all when neighbors to the north and east are raking again

Yes. If they didn't like raking the leaves more than once, they would have bought higher ground.

WillieWatanabe · « **Reply #1040 on:** May 08, 2018, 11:50:48 AM »

I have so many dandelions again this year. I love it.

mocat · « **Reply #1041 on:** May 08, 2018, 01:28:44 PM »

front yard: 100% dandelion coverage. more dandelions than blades of grass.
back yard: not one single dandelion.

True green story from like 10 yrs ago:

Wife was home one day when they came to service the yard. The service tech didn't know she was home. He sprayed the front like he was supposed to, went in back, leaned on the fence for about 10 min, then left after putting the ticket on the door saying he treated the whole lawn.
Will never hire them again and tell everyone in ear shot about this whenever their name comes up.

I have a few dandelions but I have A TON of those purple weeds. So pretty, and super emaw.

If you don't own the yard, this is a terrible idea.
