just think there is more in the trees lol

[CLARK LAWN]

luckly the village comes and sucks them up in this nieghborhood. we did 3 in a row that were all that bad and they will be done probably 2 more times each. that particular lawn is only about 10k sqf id like to see someone mulch them up.

[02DURAMAX]

Thats huge!!!!

[GravelyGuy]

I've had bigger lol. Around here the city won't allow contractors to leave stuff at the curb, only homeowners:rolleyes: I do where I can get away with it since it saves the customer money they usually don't mind.

[lawnprosteveo]

Thats great that the city will come get them...that wouldnt work here in Oklahoma...theyd blow away before you could get em all to the curb!!

yeah what keeps em in a pile? I could see a gust of wind sending it over to the neighbors yard and all over the road? Maybe I'm just used to dry leaves and those were wet who knows, but fill us in.

I too try to take advantage of the tax payers city services becuase it saves the customer a ton of money and I can do more jobs too. What I do to help stop prevent them from blowing back on the property I would take the mulched leaves from the mower and put them evenly on top of the pile, weighing them down to help prevent them from moving. I also might try to wet them a little with the hose to help keep them from moving.

City dont suck em up here. I am probably going to invest in a loader sometime. Maybe next year who knows

Hey, do you guys have to bag leaves up there with the paper bags? In some towns we do too, and saving the dump fees I just mulch them with the mower and me and my helper(s) bag em up quick. (or we try to go quick)

We can use plastic bags here, the dump then puts the county inmates on work release to rip open the bags and pile them up.

we pile them up the same way here and the city comes by twice a day and sucks them up. really does allow you to get a lot of jobs done. most of my piles are that size and its only the first round.

the only places i have troubles with them blowing away is along busy routes that have semi traffic.

Haha! Cities with money to spend. Thats funny. :hammerhead:
That would never cross Atlanta's mind. They are supposed to pick up brush piles, but I'v seen them out by the street for months at a time. It would be a disaster if they were responsible for picking up leaves.:hammerhead::dizzy:
