We can use leaf bags here or wait for the curbside pick-up with a huge machine that sucks them up. The only problem is that it comes only once a month and if you put your leaves to the curb and need that space to park there is no room for the car! My back yard backs up to woods. We get tons of leaves as we have 7 mature trees in the back yard and we get all of the leaves from the woods which blow into the yard as well. We load our leaves from the backyard into a wheelbarrow, after blowing them into a huge pile, and cart them off into the woods. It is still back breaking work but at least we don't have to bag them all and cart them off to the front of the house.

Barry do you use a leaf blower or do you rake?
