Clearing fallen leaves and keeping your yard clear can feel like a never-ending job, but the good news is there are plenty of methods to get rid of leaves. Whether raking leaves from your lawn, sweeping the yard, or clearing them from your flowerbeds, having the best leaf-clearing tools can make the process easier, not to mention more enjoyable.
The fall gardening tools you need to clear leaves don't have to be limited to a rake, either. The right tool will depend on the size of your yard, as well as the surfaces you're clearing. A lightweight hand rake will probably do the trick for a small patio or flower bed, but larger lawns can benefit from a wider rake, lawn sweeper or power tool.
The EWORK Leaf Mulcher from Amazon is ideal for tackling large piles of debris, shredding them down to a fraction of their original size for easier composting or disposal. For smaller, more targeted clean-ups, Pure Garden Leaf Scoops from Walmart offer a simple way to gather leaves straight into a bin, while the Razor Back Multi-Purpose Lawn Rake is a more traditional option for wider areas, with its heavy-duty steel build.
Whether you're dealing with a small yard, a large lawn or a garden with plenty of borders, these 16 picks cover a range of ways to stay on top of leaf fall throughout the season.
Once you've cleared your yard, it's worth thinking about what to do with fallen leaves. There are plenty of eco-friendly ways to clear yard debris that turn fallen leaves to mulch, compost or habitat for wildlife, rather than simply disposing of them.
