Do you have a neighbor who doesn't rake his leaves?

Where do your other neighbors take theirs?

Unraked leaves is God's mulch.

I find that if I ignore the leaves, they end up in my neighbor's yard.

I keep meaning to bring him a case of beer to thank him for doing his own yard work, but I keep forgetting.

I don't rake my leaves, my lawn service does that.

Isn't that what a lawn care company is for?

Frick raking leaves. It's not my problem the trees can't hold on to them.

in my old hood, the lady of the house next door to me spent what seemed like all day out in her yard with her electric blower. I could hear her using that blower, but never looked out of the window. But when I finally did, she had blown ALL her leaves into my yard. Hey lady, you think I'm not going to notice?!

My yard is 3 acres of trees. Raking leaves is an exercise in futility.

I have a cheap arse worker for things like this. Guy will do anything for 8 hours for $50. His english isn't good, but he can paint and do yard work like a pro.

Sometimes I bring him for appliance installs and throw him 30-40 a job on those.

I hate raking leaves.

My elderly neighbor doesn't and they all blow into my yard. He has a riding lawn mower that he uses frequently in the summer. Additionally, he's constantly pulling weeds and such in the back. Not sure what the deal is with the leaves in the front.

The guy next door is obsessed with his yard. The guy on the other side is military so he has high standards. Across the street I have a young retiree who pays for some and does some work himself. I'm the guy in the middle with all the trees, I figure I'm doing them all a favor by providing them with a reason to stomp around the yard

The other day I used the blower to clear my driveway and some of my yard. The next day it didn't looked like I had done anything.

I'll clean up when the big trees in my yard are bare.

I chop them up with my lawnmower while drinking beer and blow them in the same direction and keep piling them up until they are in my neighbors yard.
