I have the same exact problem plus a 2 block long street directly across from my drive where the prevailing winds send those 2 blocks’ worth of leaves into my yard as well. The solution for me was to put up a temporary barricade by using the green colored hurricane fence to keep most of them from accumulating in my yard.

That brought me down from about 200 bags of leaves to about 20.

Of course when the only trees on my property generating leaves to clean up are a small flowering crab (about 10-15 years old) and a small red Maple about the same age... well it gets more than a bit tiring to deal with so much excess that doesn’t get picked up by the real owners.

The hurricane fence idea occurred to me too. How much does that stuff cost? I believe I have about 140 feet frontage.

I also have two walnut trees on my property. Talk about a pain in the a$$.
