Agree with mowing the leaves. I went from raking/blowing and bagging, to using a shredder, and finally gave up a few years ago and just mowed the leaves on the lawn. Very easy, and I like to mow the lawn a last time in the fall anyway. I had one maple taken down last year, so there are fewer leaves to mow now (just what blows over from my neighbors) - but the remaining tree drops leaves on the sidewalk and street. Nothing for that but to rake/blow (with a corded electric blower) and bag. At least we get 4 "free" leaf pick-up days.
