Why do we need to blow leaves In the spring?

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

? I know they're called leaf blowers, but they're just blowers. They let you use them for stuff other than leaves.

Specifically springtime? Here they're used to blow all the little rocks and debris off of landscaped areas that accumulated over the winter so they can be swept up.

That said, they get used all year round... They're a must have for any municipal/contactor snow removal. Shovels are not only way more work/slower for a light bit of snow, the blowers can take the snow off clean meaning no ice melt required (and you want to use that stuff sparingly for the sake of your concrete and the environment).
