Raking: Do U Do It?

[glatt]

I'm trying to convince my son to do ours for $20. If he doesn't this weekend, then I will. I mow my leaves weekly while they are still not so heavy. Once they get really heavy, I just rake them to the curb. County sucks them up with a vacuum truck.

It really depends on how many trees you have.

Beware, coming to a neighborhood near you...

Portland (OR) has just instituted a new fee for home owners to cover the city's leaf pickups.
Avoiding the fee may be possible via receipts for licensed landscapers, etc.
but it is making for a lot of angry homeowners.
