Aren't the leafs good for the soil in the winter? isn't it wrong to sweep them away, just because "it looks better"

@catbiturfac3 I've had good luck mulching with Exmarks on a 2 week interval schedule till they are done. Saves the time spent unloading the hopper and dumping leaves. The vac is awesome but I like mulching them as they fall. The leaf fall in the video is pretty light, actually. Also a quick pass to mulch them up when heavy probably would help with volume during cleanup of heavier accumulations.

@catbiturfac3 Thanks.

Vill se maskinen i arbete vid sidan om, att bara åka med ger ingenting.

@RainJetSprinklers For this time I had gators on the left and middle with a hi-lift on the right side. Now I just use gators on all 3 it fits more in the hopper by chopping them up more.

pretty good. The question I have is do you wait until the trees are almost bare before you clean up ? Or do you have to do it a few times ? I know commercially you go along when you are asked but I'm talking efficiency.

@cullyvan I go on average 3 times each property. If I wait till the end then there are too many leaves and snow may come early, plus the leaves start to kill the grass if you leave them there too long.

what do you charge for fall cleanups? do you charge by the minute or by the size of the account?

@tdurden664 Prices mostly based on time spent. The same yard can have lots of leaves one year and very few he next just depends on the wind. I keep a log and when the season ends at the end of November I add up the hours and send a bill.
