Gas powered blowers vibrate and give me tennis elbow.

No. It does not get better. Just starting here. I have blown and mulched leave 3 times now. The oaks don't give them up until around Thanksgiving, then I have to use my plow blade to push them out into the woods after I pile them up with the blower and a rake. Fall is a love / hate thing for me.

A Trac-Vac makes easy work of it. One pass picks up leaves, grass clippings all in one.
I've had this one for 35 years now. My fav lawn tool.

I've got one tree in the front and one in the back...I don't know what they are, but they don't like to drop their leaves until the second week of December or after the second snow...whichever comes later.

Counterclockwise?

Much with the lawnmower and when it gets too much I blow them into the lake.
