Having to wield one of these backpack blowers, I can't
say it's an enjoyable task. Yes, it's smelly and
loud, but, when you have acres to clear of debris (at
a formal garden in the SF Bay area), it saves a lot of
time. Don't be upset with the gardeners. They're
expected to be efficient and handle numerous clients
in a short amount of time. They're also probably
following directions from your neighbors who hired
them! Ask instead, "Why do my neighbors not like a
pink-petaled drive?"
