Benefits of Buying a Leaf Blower & Vacuum

Tidy your garden fast

If using a garden rake on your lawn and a garden brush on the patio is getting a bit tiring, upgrading your garden tidying with a leaf blower or garden vacuum can save you lots of time on maintenance. Simply blow your leaves into one convenient pile before disposing, or whizz around with the garden vacuum!

Easy to dispose of leaves

You can use your leaf blower to easily guide fallen leaves into a neat pile which you can dispose of using a garden bag, or throw it all in the wheelbarrow for easy removal. Tidy up around your garden furniture with a leaf blower to make sure your outdoor socialising is free from fallen leaves!

Prepare the ground for planting

If it’s time to get the plants dug into beds, layers of leaves can make this trickier than it needs to be! A quick pass with the leaf blower will expose the soil and let you get those seeds in easily.

Fuss-free mulch 

Don’t throw your fallen leaves in the bin! Once you’ve used your leaf blower or garden vacuum, the leaves can be used as a mulch to protect overwintering plants, fed into the compost bin, or thrown in the garden shredder to create a nutrient-rich organic matter to fold into soil or sprinkle over raised beds.

FAQs

Can leaf blowers & vacuums handle wet leaves?

Most leaf blowers can handle wet leaves, though you’ll find the job much easier if they’re left to dry for a day or two – this is easier said than done in wintertime, of course. A garden vacuum may have trouble with wet leaves and could clog the machinery, so play it safe and wait for a dry day.

Can leaf blowers & vacuums be used for other jobs?

A leaf blower can be used on lawns, patios, walkways, and driveways to remove debris like leaves and cut grass if you’ve been cleaning up your borders with grass trimmers. You can use it to blow away most organic matter, but always check the guidelines for recommended uses and always be aware of where the leaves are going!

Are leaf blowers & vacuums noisy?

Depending on how they’re powered, leaf blowers & garden vacuums can be a little noisy. Thankfully, as they’re efficient and easy to use, you won’t have them turned on for very long – petrol options are naturally going to be louder as they’re more powerful, whilst electric and cordless blowers & vacuums will be slightly quieter. Manual garden sweepers are self-propelled and don’t have a noisy engine to worry about, which is ideal if you’re in a built-up area.
