Tony, our neighbour across the road is absolutely determined to get every leaf, every day. Of course, many Australian natives shed their leaves continuously, depending on the weather, not the seasons. So constant leaf blower!I've done 7 or 8 major leaf clean-ups around our house since Autumn began. A howling wind today deposited yet another carpet of leaves on our roof and back yard from all the Beech and Oak trees surrounding the back yard.

I have a neighbor very much like that. Very nice people, but they mow their lawns twice a week from February through December without fail, even when it's raining.Tony, our neighbour across the road is absolutely determined to get every leaf, every day.

He (and family) are the nicest people imaginable, he does the edges of our footpath ("nature strip" in Victoria) every week or so, and our next door neighbour mows said footpath. We couldn't ask for nicer, kinder neighbours than all the ones we have.
But, the leaves are a losing battle here in Oz ... !
