I rake them away from the middle of the yard into the flower beds for mulch. And I collect other people’s big paper bags of leaves to dump in my compost pile. Leaves are a terrific thing to have in your yard.
I hate change. So I tried gluing them back on but that worked about as well as a government fiscal program.
So now I just leaf them alone until the mower mulches them
It isn’t cool to blow them into the roadway. They can wind up in the storm gutters and here, that crap goes to the Bay…The Gulf Of Mexico BTW. Illegal and Not Cool. That’s why when in construction, they place big burlap looking rolls to block the storm/curb drain/gutter openings. I mulch them, it’s also kind of ridiculous to fill the landfill with yard waste. When bagged in plastic, it takes forever to break down. Can’t stand to see 20-30 bags of grass clippings on the curb. Come on people, compost it…Mulch it?
No yard, no leaves
We have someone come to do it since it has become less fun as we have gotten older. We used to mulch them into the lawn with our mower.
We don’t need to. Not many trees around us that aren’t evergreens.
You want to leave them as nesting places for the good insects, like fireflies.
@Luko26 This,
!
I solved this issue by having no trees in my yard.
All of the above
I just ignore them.
Live in a condo, so the gardeners come and blow them around

@phendrick Had to fight my phone. Twice it changed “mulches” above to “munches”, which I guess also works.
Mow the shit out of them so they feed the weeds and crab grass that make up much of my lawn
The landlord pays someone to take care of them bi-monthly.
