I've been curious about what landscaping companies do with the leaves after they blow them into neat piles. Recently, I decided to save some cash and get a leaf blower for my yard, but I missed the part where the landscapers dealt with the leaves because of an emergency call. Do they bag them up, use a mulcher, or something else? Just trying to understand the process since I've never seen it firsthand!

Most landscaping companies will either pick up the leaves and take them to a compost facility or simply blow them to the curb. Sometimes they just leave them for someone else to handle! If they do haul them away, they might charge extra for that. I've seen some use a trailer with a vacuum mulcher to suck them up, but it really depends on the company and your specific arrangement with them.
