Our next door neighbor uses a lawn service that is pretty good. They have a large team mow and edge his yard in 15 minutes. In a few more weeks when all the leaves have fallen, they come back with the leave blower brigade. Six men all rounding up the leaves into a large pile, and then into the grinder to be blown into the back of a truck with a covered bed. Those guys are amazing.
My master gardener wife points and grunts and I just mow and mulch the leaves and dump it all on the compost pile. All the grass and leaves get composted. The worms sure love the mulched leaves. We have a ton of the red wigglers. Some are huge, and evidently hungry. Of course I "get" to stir the compost with a shovel in the spring, and it is some dark rich compost.
The neighborhood just north of our uses a laws service for their green space. They just blow all the grass and leaves into the street. It is blatantly illegal. The city water bill I receive even states on the bill to not blow the yard debris in the streets. It all ends up in the storm drains, and can and will clog the storm sewers.
