I operate in the Richmond, VA area and have had a lot of customers ask if I can remove acorns from their lawns. My equipment doesn't handle this task very well. Some of these lawns have thousands of acorns on them and not many of them come up with the leaf vac. Does anyone have any suggestions.

In our area, they fall really heavy once every 5 years, I took my blower and just blew as many as I could into a pile in the middle of the yard, then put them in a bag. -

accorns can be a bear to get up.On the hard surfaces like driveways when they fall the billy goat vac does a good job.And a fair job of the turf surfaces .So we run a billy goat vac over the turf suck up what we can and then do like jack does blow up the remaining ones with a blower.SOME OF THE FINEST THINGS COME FROM SICILIA.

There is a peice of equipment designed for this... It is like a walk behind lawn sweeper. I wish I could remember who makes it. Anybody else ever seen one of these?BillComment

I've heard of it. Good money too. You charge customer for removal and sell the accorns to the state parks and make money. Contact your state offices and see if they buy them. In Iowa they pay about $150 or so for a clean sorted bushell.“veni, vidi, vici.â€Comment
