If you’re the owner of a large property with many trees, you’ll no doubt be feeling a bit of pressure when autumn time comes around again. Drain blockages, sodden mulch in gutters and lawns being ruined by lack of light are all issues that need to be dealt with during the autumn leaf fall. Even patios and paths can become dangerously slippery after rain at this time of year. Fortunately there are tools to help you to stay on top of this event – leaf blowers and vacuums.
The leaf blower has been in service to the wise gardener and property owner for decades. Hours of backbreaking work no longer need to be performed with the help of only a rake and a wheelbarrow.
If you’re considering investing in a garden leaf blower to help you this year, here’s what you need to know before you make your choice:
Consider the size of your garden. How many leaves are you likely to have to clear away? If you have a relatively small garden, then an electric leaf blower could be perfect for your needs. This type of leaf blower is usually considerable less expensive too with Bosch manufacturing some ideal models.
How about a leaf vacuum? Many manufacturers now offer this function as part of the deal. You will be able to convert your blower into a vacuum and enjoy the benefits of both, with far less workload. You’ll be able to suck up the piles of leaves that you’ve collected faster than you can imagine.
If your garden is on the larger side, with a lot of trees and the mains power supply is too far, then a cordless leaf blower could suit. A third option when it comes to leaf blowers is the petrol powered leaf blower / vacuum model. It’s best suited to gardens that are very large and for situations where the cordless will not be powerful enough to handle your leaf removal requirements. Hand held petrol leaf blowers are capable of blasting very forceful streams of air that can go up to 200 miles per hour. Manufacturers who produce models of this type include Stihl, Husqvarna and Hitachi amongst others.
Fortunately many petrol blowers come equipped with a vacuum kit, and if your chosen model doesn’t have one, then it’s possible to purchase one as an optional extra.
