We live in California. Our former house had a huge maple tree next door that dropped tons of leaves over a few weeks each fall. The wind would blow them into our yard and make a big mess. The neighbor's son used to blow them out of our yard and back towards theirs so he could bag them. I thought that was very nice of him. Then the house sold and became a rental and gardeners they hired just cleaned up their yard. We hired our own gardeners, but still had to clean up leaves between services, at least to get them off the sidewalk so people walking by wouldn't slip on them.
Fast forward to this past June when we sold the house and moved to a townhome. Our complex has tons of trees that drop leaves and pine needles everywhere. The best part is that they magically disappear every week or so when the gardeners come through. The complex was painted just after we moved in, and we just got a notice saying they would be coming around to clean our gutters. Yes, we pay for all these services through our monthly fee. It's just nice not to have to hire people and schedule everything ourselves. It just happens! We do have to sweep the leaves off our enclosed patios ourselves, but that's easy enough.
