Does it work in the yard or is it more for driveways and patios? Small yard but my neighbor's enormous tree is dumping tons of leaves into my yard.

works anywhere, just need long drop cord or cords to go really far into yard, and I do use it there when I can't start the gas blower and hubby isn't home to start it

I use it for our vacation cabin in GA. We get tons of leaves on our deck because we are in the mountains. It has great pressure!

I am really impressed by this machine, it is powerful. I use it mainly on sidewalks but I have blown leaves away from the pool, they tend to gather under the trees.

It would work in the yard to blow leaves into piles as long as they are dry.

I think it would work fine. I have large gravel (likely larger than your driveway gravel) for my landscaping and it doesn't come close to moving it. You can also control how powerful the blower is by how far away from the ground you hold it.

We have large trees 30 or so feet away from the senor on driveway. We did have to adjust the sensor downward so it wouldn't pick up excessive tree motion. This was in strong wind. On a normal day, the trees wouldn't affect the sensor. Dogs walking across drive way can set the alarm off, so setting sensor down, it can still pick up tires as they drive by and alert you. It doesn't have to 'see' the whole vehicle.

I bought it knowing that it might not be powerful enough for me, but gave it a shot anyways since it was relatively cheap. It is great for blowing off the driveway and sidewalks after mowing, or blowing out random leaves and such from the garage. I would recommend getting the DigiPro model if you are wanting to use it for anything more than that. It is pretty useless if I try to use it in the fall to blow leaves in the yard. Pros: - Quite cheap if you already have a battery from other tools - Very quiet Cons: - Not really powerful enough to blow leaves through grass

I posted just last year. For the yard I have it works pretty well. Hedge trimmings and leaves. I like it because it is easy to use and I didn't expect it to be like a gas shredder. I have had a bigger gas shredder so I knew about what I needed for this yard.

I used it to saturate the soil around the house, I would think it would work here as well.If the tree is or was infested, it may die.

It should blow the leaves as long as they are not wet and packed. This blower is extremely powerful for it's size and price. Actually has more force than our bigger gas powered one.

Oh gosh---so if I put the transmitter in a small tree that is 20' from the driveway---that will mean the "pick up" part that I bury will be 15' from the driveway and probably will not work? and I just ordered it thinking it would be at least 12'

Yes it throws the leaves on the ground, its a great tool! I love it, has nice power aswell, try to use it before it rains, heavy wet leaves will take a little longer

HI Judy, it does a fair job on small particles like needles and tiny branches, but kinda pushes the dust and dirt into a pile. I end up getting the broom and dust pan to sweep up the remnants that the spin sweep leaves behind. I use mine for the driveway and sidewalk close to a pine tree. I rate this item as a three, because it is a whole lot faster than sweeping the entire space with a push broom.

In response to Aaron's question, my experience with this machine is really more to do with blowing autumn leaves off driveways and other garden areas, but I imagine that the blower would be powerful enough for what you have in mind. Plus it's small enough to get into tight spaces, but as I have not used it for this purpose I don' to give you incorrect information.

I would think it would work to remove leaves & pine needles, providing there's a thick enough layer built up so as to be caught by the rake ... The blade does not down directly on the roof because of the little wheels that are on the blade.

Though I do not have a lawn, my experience tells me that it will not work on a lawn, especially one with a lot of leaves. As previously stated by others, it works best on smooth surfaces. That is what it was designed to do. You will need a gas or electric high output unit for lawns/leaves.

No, it will now shred branches that large. It will handle small twigs that always get mixed in with leaves when you rake or blow them into a pile.

Fritz, I would love to answer your question but if you knew me you would be amused. I don't do yard work. I bought it for my husband. He is out of town but due back tomorrow. I will ask him and let you know then.

So far it's done really good at picking most things up, but large leaves get stuck in the intake doors. It does ok with a couple of leaves, but if there was a lot, I would try something else.

Cant address the pine needles question since I don't have any pines on my property. The terrain I use it on is not flat, except for the front yard area and it does a good job. In my case I use it to pick up excess bermuda and field grass after mowing. It will also pick up leaves, small paper trash, and small twigs.
