A small yard should be raked, not blown. What a waste of fuel, money and peaceful quiet to use a blower to handle (your words) a small yard.

Some might wish your own domicile to flood because of clogged storm drains, but I won't.

It’s been the cause of a bunch of vehicle fatalities I believe.

Grass clippings essentially causing hydroplane. While I agree you can’t stop the rain, and you can’t stop some debris from being on the road. There are differences, when it rain most ppl naturally slow down bc of slow stopping power, grass on roads cause the same thing but there is no rain to cause the drivers to slow down prior to hitting the clump or scattered debris.

Slow as much as possible back into grass. Some inevitably gets into street, but nothing like some of my neighbors.

Would you rather look at my grass very high or would you rather see it cut with some grass clippings in the street? Those are the only 2 choices I'm giving.

The YouTubers weed eat and edge first and blow it in the yard then mow. Then blow it again to clean it up. The last step is a lot less stuff.

I try. Too much concrete around. It’s not even that much. Guess I’ll get her to sweep it.

If she’s willing to blow it in the backyard then leave the broom in the closet.

I have a piece of land I mow, the fence is only 6 feet from the road, and the road has cars going 60 on it, so I mow facing the traffic on the side of the road where I am, so I'm basically forced to blow into the road.
But, before I can park my mower, the cars and the wind have blown the grass back onto the property.

It's not always possible to avoid blowing grass into the road.

I live in a very nice neighborhood and I am blown away that there are several people that mow their own yards and don’t blow the clippings back into the yard.

It’s actually against the rules here but they don’t enforce it….trashy? Absolutely
