With the UK coming towards the autumn months, many of us struggle with the might of leaves that fall on our garden. It may be that you have a neighbour whose trees overhang into your garden and cleaning them up can seem like a never-ending task. If you leave wet leaves on your garden they can smother the grass and cause it to die underneath. This can not only look unsightly but often leave you with bare patches on your lawn.

There are a few different ways in which you can try and remove the leaves such as using a rake or a garden blower but these can take time. You can also get a garden vacuum which will suck up the leaves rather than blowing them to a different area. If you really suffer from leaves from a particular tree then you could add a net below it to catch the leaves which would then allow you to empty it when you need to.

You need to clean up the leaves often to avoid damage and to reduce the amount of work it takes to do the job.
