How to Clean up Leaves in Your Yard

As the fall season begins the leaves begin to change color and fall, collecting on your grass. This is usually a pretty time of year but can leave your yard looking like a mess. There are many quick ways to clean up the leaves in your yard so you can see your green grass again.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. First, rake the leaves into a few separate piles depending on the size of your yard. By raking them all into one pile it will be harder to pick up later on. Scoop up the leaves and place them into large garbage bags. Tie up the bag of leaves and place them at the curb for pick up.

2. Purchase or borrow a leaf blower and blow all of the leaves to curbside. Within a few weeks a large truck will come by and pick up all of the leaves.

3. Rake the leaves to the curbside without tying them into bags is another option. The only downside to doing this that the leaves could blow back onto your yard on a windy day. Burn the leaves in a burning can instead of placing them on the curbside to avoid having them blow around.
