Fall Cleanup FAQ's

What’s the fastest way to tackle leaves?

Work in stages: blow or rake into large piles, move with a tarp or can, then bag. Dry leaves move faster—avoid wet, matted areas until last.

Should I use a rake or a leaf blower?

Small yards or tight beds → rake. Medium–large yards or heavy leaf fall → blower (corded, cordless, or gas). Use a rake for final tidy-up around landscaping.

Which bags are best for leaf pickup?

Paper lawn bags are curbside-friendly in many cities. Heavy-duty plastic works for mixed debris. Check local guidelines for composting/collection rules.

Any tips for clearing gutters safely?

Use a stable ladder, gloves, and eye protection. Clear downspouts first. Consider a gutter-cleaning attachment for blowers or a scoop for packed debris.

Can I mulch or compost my leaves?

Yes—mulch leaves with a mower for a free soil booster. Bag only what you must. For compost, mix brown (leaves) with green (grass/kitchen scraps) and keep slightly moist.

What PPE should I wear for fall cleanup?

Gloves, eye protection, hearing protection for blowers/chainsaws, and sturdy footwear. Dust masks help when leaves are dry and dusty.

How do I prep tools for winter storage?

Clean and dry tools, oil metal to prevent rust, sharpen blades (pruners, loppers), and charge/store batteries per manufacturer guidance. Drain or stabilize fuel for gas units.
