We have 60 - 70% of our yard as natural woodland or in perennial/shrub beds and we don’t do anything with the leaves in those areas. Most of the grass portion is still under oak and hickory trees and they definitely need to be removed if we are to have any grass grow at all.

A shredding mower would be nice but I am still using a small electric battery mower which I purchased 17 years ago. I love it as it has never required any maintenance (except sharpening) and I never have to purchase, store or dispose of old gas.
We also love our four year old battery leaf blower which we use to blow leaves to curb for city pickup for composting. Much quieter than gas and no hassle with starting.
Our goals are to get to only about 15% grass and eventually get a mulching mower. Definitely by electric yard equipment if you can!
Has anyone worked with yard crews that have switched to electric equipment?
I've wondered about electric versus gas blowers for yard crews, because all I ever see are grass. We use an electric trimmer but rake the leaves in our relatively small yard the old-fashioned way. If we didn't want to leave space for our kids to run around, I imagine we'd reduce the percentage of grass.
