*1st Spring Clean-up is a MESS!

What happens here

The team determines that a large-scale spring cleanup is necessary for a commercial account spanning 27 acres with 46 homes. Due to impending rain, a full crew is mobilized to expedite the process. Essential equipment such as backpack leaf blowers (Stihl BR 800) and a Toro GrandStand HDX ride-on mower are prepared. The strategy involves blowing leaves from sloped areas towards flatter, accessible sections, performing 'spot dethatching' where needed, and then using the mower's bagging system to collect the leaves and thatch.

Goal: The team gathers necessary leaf removal and dethatching equipment, including backpack leaf blowers and a ride-on mower with attachments. They discuss the property's size, challenges, and the specific strategy for clearing leaves and thatch before upcoming rain.
