Ok justed started biz this year and have only done a little leaf cleanup at my own property. I know when i did it it was VERY slow going. Looking for ways to improve my efficiency for this fall. Please suggest any equiipment that would speed me up. Thanks

A backpack blower is the first thing that comes to my mind. I plan on picking one of these up very soon. It will most likely be a Shindaiwa or a Redmax.

How will you be handling the leaves?

Have woods around the properties?
Mulching?
Hauling away?

What equipment do you currently own???

What size properties?

(As asked by GLAN): Will you need to haul away the leaves, or deposit them on-site?


I use my BP blower to clear the beds, and edges, as well as a rake.
Then I use the Little Wonder to move volumes...... either off the property if possible, or to piles that I can put on tarps and drag elsewhere (with the Lazer )

Last, I mow with the Ultra-Vac on to "polish" the appearance of the lawn...... This leaves a lawn that wasn't even visible when I started, looking like a fairway!



As far as mulching leaves goes.... I can only do that here if I do it every week throughout the season, otherwise buildup is too much, just makes a mess to be vacuumed up with the UV.. which works, but the Little Wonder is much faster.....
