What is the best way to do leaf removal?

[llama]

This is my second time for leave removal/fall cleanups. This past spring we did it the hard way (with rakes and mower/baggers). I am needing some tips from you seasoned pros.

You can have all the fancy blowers and loaders, I have and use several different blowers for leaves. But it always seems that the most used tools are a $10.00 rake and a $5.00 tarp.

I would make sure you have a good backpack blower.
check out www.echo-usa.com and find a model thats right for you.

a rake, tarp, mower with bagger and a blower is all you need to do leaves.

good luck

A good blower, a mower with a bagger and a tarp to cover the load.
This fall I am also using my little garden tractor w. bagger together with my Z to help with the workload.
The 1st season I raked.... never again! I dont touch a rake.

1.blow out beds /street ect.
2.make one huge pile
3.pick them up
4.cut the lawn with grass gobler on
5.weedwack/edge
6.make sure there not even one leaf left.
i dont care what anyone says on here ,i always leave my cleanup lawns spotless.why because thats why we charge good for it.

one way: Guys on blowers- blow out beds and away from house. Blow bulck into piles, pick up with tarps and put on truck. Then a guy uses a Scag to bag the leftovers to give a final touch.

Second way:- We do this on verrry large properties- when I can dump the leaves in their own woods- 3 men on blowers start on one side of property and blow in rows- I come buy with my Kubota or Case International tractor with a 7 ft. landscape rake and drive the right into the woods- This way is alsome and a good time saver
We did this for a trailer park- guys blew leaves in road and I drove up and down the street with tractor collecting leaves

bag leaves w/lazer (QDS BAGGING SYS. IS GREAT) dump at the back of truck and suck them up into the back of the truck. i hate leaves :)
