hey guys I just a bought a new home and I never had mowed a lawn before. I have several trees around my lawn and my yard seems to be nice looking only a couple hours and then I have it littered with leaves all over . [img]https://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/i370/LoveLife521/IMAG0047.jpg[/img]
is there like a vaccum or something you guys have had good luck with?
also I have several rough patches and a horse shoe game set up. what do you guys reccomend for me to get the rough patch to grow grass again? and whats your advice for me to remove that horse shoe game thing without affecting the yard?

thanks guys
now is not the time to be doing "grass improvement" in York. too hot, too dry.
come Sept, rent a power thatching rake - that will rake up the yard "with vigor" - ie scratch up the surface quite a bit - then reseed / over-seed
if you're going to remove the horse shoe pit(s) - do that in advance. if the pit is solid sand, you'll need to dig that out and replace with soil; rake smooth.
if you're thinking of a "perfect" lawn, no weeds, putting green style pretty..... you'll need a chemical lawn service with 4-6 "treatments" per year - and be advised once you've gotten the grass addicted to that kind of constant artificial care, if you stop - the grass "reaction" is especially bad.
leaves laying about....? yes, there are "lawn vacuums" - before running off to HD to buy one, I'd suggest you experience a fall season if you're concerned about the odd leaf on the grass. trees have a lot of leaves , , ,
