first off you have to have the right equipment , such as this. :clapping: :clapping:

[noseha]

start at the first house, go Thur your list until your at the last house.

start furthest from the truck. Work the perimeter first and blow leaves until they stop blowing easily. Tarp the majority of these leaves to the truck. Repeat until all the leaves are gone. If you have a leaf plow then you can use that instead of tarps. I don't always like the leaf plow becuase it packs them in and alot of times makes it more difficult raking them into the leaf loader. If you have alot of acorns and other crap in the grass a push blower with a backpack blower working in tandem works well for me.

i start at the flower beds and blow into the lawn and then use mower to vac up the leaves. If theres large piles then just bag them. Mowers with mulching blades work well1 hope this helps

Whats a leave clean-up?
I do leaf clean-ups.
Blow the beds, one way or another get the LEAVES to your truck or into the woods, mow up the remander of LEAVES and then LEAVE.
LEAVE the tarp at home.
Tarps are for homeowners.

So how do YOU get them on the truck??

Spend about 2 to 3 grand on a pull behind leaf vac machine or else you will get sick of leaves and quit.*trucewhiteflag*
I agree with the blow out of the beds to the yard, around trees and then pick up. Tarping will give you a hernia

[blowerboy]

i just go the redmax8001 and that thing is a monster, blow the beds then go to the center, if your working in "closequarters " keep the leaves in the center and use a walkbehind to move them, then when they get close to the beds or bushes keep centering them. works best if the bushes are close and leafs wont go through them . 13 littlewonder all the way
