We mow and mulch the back yard, and for the rest of our property we use the wind method...we are surrounded by woods. I like yard work tho, if it's not too too freezing outside.

Well Pam, the trees on our property are so young that while the leaves DID fall off a few weeks ago, there were not so many that I even noticed them on the ground.

Living in West Texas, what leaves we do have, we just let Mother Nature take care of them!

Ours are just starting to fall, but I do it the easy method. I mow a few times during the fall and throw the mulched leaves into the little bit of woody area in our backyard. Our biggest problem is our neighbors leaves blowing into our yard, keeping a constant flow of beauty ;-)
