leaf raking

Yard cleanup task

Leaf raking is the seasonal chore of gathering fallen leaves from lawns and yards using a rake.

The task is associated with autumn in temperate climates, often viewed as tedious but necessary yard maintenance: I spent all Saturday on leaf raking.

The leaves are typically bagged, composted, or burned.
