Leaf Management 101

You know what Fall means. Leaves. And lots of ’em. To battle the onslaught, you’ve basically got three options:

1) a rake

2) a leaf blower

3) a leaf vacuum

Let’s consider option #1 by asking your BACK how much it enjoyed all that raking last year: “Ummm… not so much, frankly. But thanks for asking.”
Give your aching back a rest this year. Stop by and talk to our helpful staff at Crescent Avenue Gardens. One of our high quality Stihl leaf blowers or Billy Goat lawn vacuums is just what you need for your Fall lawn care tasks. Our staff can help you determine which piece of outdoor power equipment best fits your needs. Here’s a quick guide to the basic features of each:

Leaf Blowers

Leaf Blowers are a powerful and easy-to-use way to clear leaves out of those tricky places where they like to pile up — stairs, porches, decks, fence bases, and sidewalk and driveway edges. One of our hand-held, wheeled or backpack leaf blowers will herd those leaves where you need them to go for easy cleanup.

Leaf Vacuums

Of course, collecting the leaves isn’t the end of it, and here’s where Leaf Vacuums step in. Collected leaves still need to be disposed of by bagging or mulching up for composting. And that’s no small task if you have a large yard or a lot of trees. Leaf vacuums take leaf management to the next level. One of our high capacity leaf vacuums can collect, reduce the volume of the material, and contain it right there for easy disposal or composting.

Our knowledgable staff and quality lawn and garden equipment can give you more time to enjoy all the beauty of Fall this year (and give your back a rest). We’ll help you find the perfect piece of outdoor power equipment to fit your needs. We carry a wide variety of industry leading brands, such as Toro, Stihl, and Billy Goat. Crescent Avenue Gardens has been servicing and repairing all types of outdoor power equipment around the Fort Wayne area since 1959. Stop in before the leaves fall!
