Introduction to the Leaf Blower. While some home owners love the look of leaves all over their yard, some like a more manicured look and want the leaves out of their yard. If youâre one of the latter groups of people, a leaf blower is the answer to your dilemma. Leaf blowers make quick work of getting the leaves grouped together so they can be bagged up. They can be gas powered or electric and come in many different sizes, power levels and styles.
