Today, Friday the 4th of October, our landscape maintenance team was busy removing the leaves we showed in part 1.
I had no idea they would be here today and was fortunate to hear them busy at work.
The leaf blowers are extremely loud! Clouds of leaves were "flying high".
I have never seen this process.
The leaves in the leaf pile are raked onto a large tarpaulin.
The maintenance team seemed to enjoy me shooting photos!
Back to work guys!
The pile of leaves on the tarpaulin in the photo above are being dragged to the street to be picked up by a truck. You will see details of this further down below.
That pile of leaves is gone! It is history!
Now we move to the leaves immediately just off the back porch of our Condo.
Here the maintenance crew comes, heading our way!
Just look at those leaves flying! The noise was also substantial!
Volia! The leaves are gone from the Green Strip behind our Condo. Well they are gone at least until more leaves fall. But I doubt the maintenance crew will be back this year to clear more leaves.
Patti "dead heading" and caring for her beloved flowers.
Now we will see how the leaves are transported out of our neighborhood.
Voila!
What a process this turned out to be. This was the first time that I have seen this. I just "lucked out" and was able to see it up close and personal!
Let's move in and have a close look at the process!
The very large black hose is a powerful suction hose that sucks the leaves that had been collected onto the tarp.
The leaves are fed into the suction hose.
Do you see our white Chevrolet Suburban in the background of the below photo?
Whew! What a process.
We hope you found it interesting.

I wonder what happens to the leaves after they leave your area?
ReplyDeleteAh Hah.. Gullible, we are going to ask The Shadow! When the opportunity presents itself, we also will inquire about the end destination of the leaves. Smiles .. Cap and Patti
