Having to bag your raked leaves can add time to an already time-consuming task. You can save time by raking leaves onto a trap and then transport the tarp.  A tarp can be reused over multiple years and will make any leaf clean up easier!

3. Timing is Important

The best time of day to rake leaves is in the mornings.  And avoid raking leaves after rainfall. Wet leaves are a lot heavier and will require more effort to rake.  The drier the leaves, the easier they will be to rake.
