I was really surprised to see there were lots of rocks that were either kicked out of the beds or blown out by the leaf blower. The men left my flower beds pretty clean of cut leaves and such but with that, many of the rocks were blown out onto the lawn with the leaves.

Am I going to have to clean up after the landscape clean up after every time my shrubs and trees are trimmed? I wasn't expecting to have to do that. Do you have this same problem?
It boils down to the person doing the work. Some will pick up displaced stone, some will not. Of course the hazard of leaving the stone in your yard is that it becomes a projectile when the lawn guys come.
