Few if any have the same company cutting grass, so the procession of landscaping diesels trucks and gas mowers march constant near us.

You are right on, it NEVER ends, never. Even Sat. and Sun., really hard to believe that is permitted in any community, let alone one as planned and restricted as TV's. But, have a relative who moved to the Villages of Hot Springs in Arkansas. LOVES it, edge of the Ozarks, beautiful lakes, golf courses, nature trails. But she also works at home for a big name box store and constant lawn workers, 7 days a week, could cost her her income. Fortunately, her area of the villages has specific days residents can schedule this, and she is able to NOT schedule hours for her work on that day during day hours. She said she simply schedules her hours for the evening and night on lawn day. Now, I realize, that would not work for everyone, and places like our Villages where it can be done at any hour seven days a week.. well ! It's also amusing (some would say sad I guess), that 4 different companies can all have their big flat beds parked on the same street at the same times, while there employees each blow all the derbies to the neighbors yard, and then their lawn people come around the house and blow it all BACK to the house next door. One (bad me I know !), I asked a worker why they do this, why not just blow it on the lawn of the person they work for. I said this very very politely, not in any kind of "challenging" tone, just like genuine curiosity... the replay was was "MY brother OWNS this company and we are given strict instructions to make sure it is blown out of the yard of the PAYING customer.. . I had a hard time not laughing or appearing to be challenging her ( the worker). I just said, " oh, okay, I see, not questioning, I was just curious was all".... :icon_wink::icon_wink::icon_wink: How would one ever attempt to appeal to an individual who states that kind of "logic".. LOL !
We solved it this way, bought a blower VAC. Now, when the lawn "service" finishes blowing all my neighbor's HUGE magnolia leaves from their yard into our and the house directly across the street, I wait for them to leave, then go out and my blower will suck them up like a vacuum (WorX is the brand), instead of blowing them all into the yard of my other neighbor ! Problem solved, I do the work, but preserve the relationship with my neighbors who are the best. BTW, we love this WorX blower vac in case anyone ever thought about it to solve the problem of getting everyone else's debris.
