Fall Back in Love with Fall

While many people love the arrival of autumn's leaves...their changing colors, their crisp welcome underfoot, and their unmistakable scent...it's all but impossible to find someone who loves raking them.

Sure, kids love to see a big pile of crunchy leaves to jump and play in, but the only thing adults see is the end result of countless hours of work. Where the children get to experience one of Fall's greatest joys, adults get to experience one of Fall's most hated chores...raking leaves.

Raking leaves seems so pointless. The constant bending and pulling, futile attempts to stay ahead of falling leaves, and the frustration as you watch leaves invade areas you just finished raking.

 
Raking leaves is a never-ending job, a thankless job, and it's easy to see why most people just plain dread it. But, just as they do every year, the leaves are coming.

Whether from the trees above or from the yards beside you, your lawn, your shrubs, and your gardens will be swarmed with leaves. Choose to ignore them, and your lawn suffers. Choose to rake them, and your body suffers.

We're here to change all that.

You don't have to work harder to maintain a leaf-free lawn. You just have to work smarter.

Stop wasting precious hours raking leaves…hours that could be spent with your family.

Stop dealing with the aches and pains that always follow raking leaves.

Stop bending and pulling as you try to pluck stubborn leaves from your shrubs, perennials, and fences by hand.

Stop raking leaves the old-fashioned way!

Everything evolves to make our lives easier and raking leaves is no exception. There ARE solutions! And we have them.

With Green Garden Tools you can now clear leaves from your lawn and garden faster, easier, and more comfortably than ever before.

You can either:

• Collect the Leaves
• Blow the Leaves
• Vacuum the Leaves
• Sweep the Leaves
• or Shred the Leaves

Collect the Leaves
If you have a small enough lawn, you may wish to rake your leaves for healthy exercise, but this doesn't mean you still can't save time. Even if you don't mind raking leaves, you know full well that bagging the leaves in trash bags or hauling them back into the woods is a major hassle.

Cut the time in half with the NEW Collect It System from Yardwise.

The detachable leaf scoop makes it easy to transfer leaves from the ground. It also holds a 32-gallon garbage bag so that you don't have to fight to keep the bag open as you clear your lawn. For added convenience and ease, its two-wheel cart design makes dragging leaves from the back yard to the woods or curb a breeze.


Blow the Leaves
Sometimes you only need to rid your gardens, shrubs, and fences of trapped leaves. Or perhaps you want to quickly clear leaves from your patio, deck, or driveway.

Using a rake on a hard surface is unproductive. Why not simply blow the leaves away with an eco-powered leaf blower?

Our leaf blowers are very light (as low as 5.5 pounds), easy to handle, and ergonomically designed so that they are comfortable to use.

Customers consistently rave about our Earthwise 18-volt cordless blower because of its power (up to 140 MPH of force) and it's surprisingly quiet noise level.

Looking for even more power? Check out our full line of leaf blowers and accessories.


Vacuum the Leaves
Vacuuming your lawn may sound absurd but it's actually one of the most powerful and easiest ways to enjoy a leaf-free lawn. There is no raking, no collecting, and no leaves left behind!

As an added benefit, leaves are shredded to less than 1/10th their original size so that they can be spread as mulch or take up far less space in landfills.

For small to medium yards, the Lehr propane-powered Vacuum Mulcher is the ultimate solution. Even though the line of Lehr propane-powered tools don't use gasoline and have lower emissions, none of the power is sacrificed.

Sweep the Leaves
Whether you prefer to pull a leaf sweeper behind your lawn tractor or easily push a hand-powered sweeper around the yard, leaf sweepers make leaf collection a snap.

We have several different models to choose from depending on the power you seek and the size of your lawn.

Trailer Lawn Sweepers (attached to lawn tractor)
New for 2009 is the 4451 lawn sweeper with a 45" swath that is designed to be pulled by your garden tractor. Dumping is a piece of cake since you can tip the basket up from your tractor seat dropping the clippings in a neat pile.  You’ll never break a sweat and your yard will be relatively leaf free in no time.

Manual Lawn Sweepers 
For those interested in a push sweeper, the new Sweep It model is the perfect addition. Both economical and efficient, the Sweep It's super-grabbing brushes are designed to quickly gather leaves and grass.

The height is fully adjustable for both lawns and hard surfaces, and the 30-gallon removable basket makes dumping or bagging a quick and easy process. Simply push the lightweight but durable sweeper and give your lawn, driveway, or pathways a neat, clean appearance without raking or bending.

Shred the Leaves
If you like to shred leaves and use them as mulch or compost, look no further than the EasyTOOL Wood Chipper and Leaf Shredder from Patriot.

By shredding your leaves first you help expedite the release of valuable nutrients into the soil for your plants and flowers to thrive on.
