Who knows of some landscaping company that does not charge a arm n leg for the work.

Also looking for a small job (bush trimming, weed clean-out) in-case an independent person sees this topic. Located in California.

Hell, I feel bad. I just wish neighborhood kids still raked leaves for cash.

I am very happy with my lawn guy. He also does leaf management for me.

Actually, the leaves are the easy part. I have decent leaf blower, but my yard is covered with a mixture of small limbs, gum balls, pine needles, and pines cones. Just about anything that can fall out of a tree, did. It's going to require a new rake to clean that up.

Same. 2 acres. Ugh!

Riding mower, start in the middle and blow outward toward the edges of your property/tree line. Repeat as necessary.

Unless you have neighbors. We are cognitive of not doing that to each other. Actually, my lawn guy dumps it back at the edge of my woods in back and my neighbor asked to use some for their garden. Yes! Win, win!

I may try that, but I've only got about 1000sqft of lawn. It takes longer to reposition the mower than it does to rake. Our 1/2 acre is only about 1/2 cleared land and most of its parking.

Not sure where you are located but I use Stauffer Landscaping here in St. Marys. They do pretty good work and their prices are below what others charge. 301-328-8233

Funny that you mentioned this. My riding mower isn't one I would use for this job because getting the blades off to sharpen them isn't getting any easier with age.

That being said, my nephew blessed me with an older John Deere 175 that has a bagging system. His better half wanted something a little newer and more dependable. I tried it this evening and it sucks up pine cones and branches like nobody's business!
