I did just my paved driveway yesterday, and the blower plus 'kick-walking' moved the leaves just fine. The back yard is just beginning to fill up...mostly Oak, and the very last tree to let go is the Maple in the front yard. I also have a Sycamore with these HUGE leaves in the front...even though it is near the street, the plastic sheet trick makes moving those piles twice as easy as raking, blowing or 'walking' them the full 30 ft.
