Blowing leaves in the Fall is the most difficult thing to do. The path is made of cypress chips and they are really lightweight and usually blow away, so we put the blower on low and blow down the path so the chips won't will stay on the path and not get in the mulch. This year we're going to try doing something different and have one person carry a cardboard shield for the edge, while the other person blows. We hope that will work. The path can also be raked as it really isn't that long, as well. The mulch is difficult to blow because all the leaves get in the plants. Some of the mulch blows away, but by then it's pretty intertwined together and not loose. I also help by raking as he uses the blower. Hope that helps.

You ...Your yard has always been a favorite of mine. You guys have designed it beautifully. The hostas are most impressive along the side of the house. The pathway to your childhood playhouse is like something from a storybook. The fire pit and patio area would be a favorite area for us! Mosquitos are the scourge. We have a trick that helps but it may not be a favorite way for some. The mulch looks incredible. I know the work involved since we do it too. We usually put down around 3 yds of it. Your shrubs look perfect out front! Now you can relax and enjoy it all!

But have a question. How do you get the leaves off it in the fall? with a blower? We have so many leaves (and sweet gum balls) that I have been afraid to make a mulch path.

What about rabbits or chipmunks to eat all that nice lettuce and leafy greens? No? I have to spray for the rabbit, and we live in a very built up environment. Luckily, the deer haven't been a problem, and most of my flowers are within a fenced area. Ok, maybe I'll do a tour too!
