Be careful what you wish for... Oak trees mean nice leaves for compost, but they also mean acorns, and those sprouts can put down tap roots remarkably fast (4" seedling, 12" root). Squirrels bring them into the yard from the streets on either side of ours. Also, acorns are hard on the feet!
Rick, good for you with the DIY leaf removal. Glad you upgraded your leaf blower!
