Reliable electric options for lawnmowers and leaf blowers might be OK for those with a small lot and not a lot of leaves. They wouldn’t work in my yard, I need a diesel tractor (50 horse Kubota), a gas powered zero turn mower (Gravely with a 48 inch mower deck), both a backpack leaf blower (Stihl two cycle gas) and push leaf blower on wheels (Giantvac), along with a push gas mower for tight spaces (Honda), a good two cycle gas weed wacker (Husqvarna), and my trusty Stihl and Jonsered two cycle gas chain saws. And the tractor, of course, needs a bunch of attachments including a front end loader, backhoe, plow, brush hog, york rake, forks, and a wood splitter. Good thing I don’t live on the left coast.
