Our home is on a half acre lot; we also own the 1.2 acre lot next to us. The latter I let nature have its way; on the 1/2 acre lot with the house we have over 50 trees. Each tree has between 1,000,000 to 2, 000,000 leaves. Just as the sun was setting I finished raking them. I couldn;t have done it without the help of a neighbor who after finishing his property came over with a blower - I only have a rake -and helped me finish up
I have been busy the past couple of days, but I hope to catch up on viewing your photos tonight after dinner. sooc

Your lawn looks very nice. We're on 19 acres with hundreds of trees and we let most of it go natural but every day my husband is out with a blower trying to get those right around the house. They will still be falling a month from now.
That's a lot of land and trees. We are on 3/4 of an acre, and we mainly only groom the front and mulch the back. We like our backyard a bit rustic, to attract wildlife. :-)
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, the lawn looks better without the leaves @vernabeth Thank yo Beth, ours will also, I figure 2 more major rakings @shutterbugger Thank you Jenn, and without him it would have been a 2 day job
@carrieoakey Thank yo Carrie, with Thanksgiving coming a can use the exercise :) @webfoot Thank you Paul, I have used them when teaching math :) @5unflow3r Thank you Trina, that is why the enjoining 1/2 acre lot is kept natural.
You sure have your work cut out for you..do you burn them or are they being picked up when you stuff them in huge paper bags? That's what we do and we get a lot of bags together...couldn't imagine how may you would have.
