    Yup. Same here. A little rain today and a bunch tomorrow. As far as leaves go, it takes me 3 months to get all because they don't all fall at the same time. The Norway maple is still all green! No worries as I have tons of other shit that needs doin.

    I mow, blow, rake, mulch, burn, and dump. The “leaf wars” attack strategy depends on wet or dry leaves.

    The neighborhood I live in is called “Oakwood” , a lot of oak trees. When we bought the house we said, look at all the beautiful trees.

    We got oaks and cedar. But the oak leaves are small and keep all year for the most part. Other areas have a Spanish oak. They drop leaves and they’re a bigger leaf

    I've got 3 kinds of maple that drop at different times. Silver maples next. Last will be the Norway maple.

    And the steaks were awesome. It was an all meat dinner, no room for pesky veggies.

    That's why, so she can buy you $70 in steaks:D

    I prefer natural leaf removal... the wind! I live in the country. It would be impossible to rake them all, and any area that I rake would be covered in a matter of a few hours.

    That's what we said when we bought this house! Then a few of them tipped over...

    Try Locust trees. They grow very large and have tiny leaves, a lot of them and Gutter guards don't work!:facepalm:

    No I figured I would run with the weight box when lifting or plowing etc , drop it when just mowing we get a lot of rain and since most of this state is only slightly higher in sea level then Louisiana lol weighted wheels would be a bad thing on the lawn 2 days after a rain. :}
