You are lucky Bazza the leaves here have been a soggy mess for weeks and are impossible to rake up.
Another 24 hours of rain in the forecast so not likely to dry out any time soon.

Meg

what you need is one of these

https://www.pro-mech.co/product-page...ch-leaf-blower

I have one ane it is brilliant. Raking can damage a lawn ,blowing leaves up doesn't. Also that can be done even though the grass is soggy ,walking on it causes more damage.
Why get one? well no hard work with a rake - no lawn damage- job done in a fraction of the time- easy to use- light weight and easy start.


hardest part is just picking the leaves up and we have these to make the job easier.



this is mine ,same machine different label. Had it for 4 years and only replaced the plastic fuel line inside



I am sure a neighbour would do it for you with one of these

Worse thing here is when our Magnolia drops it's leaves, all at once usually & the leaves are huge & there are thousands of them. Daughter wants to have it cut down but it's so pretty in Spring.

Most trees (Gums, Bottlebrush, Grevillea and Melaleuca) where I live are evergreen so leaves are rarely a problem. Perhaps you should move?

A leaf vac is a good idea. It saves all that bending over and shreds the leaves which can be stored and used as mulch next year.

Yep, I've got that lined up for the W/E, they should all be down off the trees by then. Also got to cut all my great big ferns back to the ground..
