I'm looking for someone who is reliable and reasonably-priced to remove the leaves from my yard in about 4 weeks.  My yard is rather large: my house sits on approximately 1/3 of an acre here in Highland Park, so when I do it myself, it takes me two full days to accomplish the task.  Any suggestions and references are appreciated, as are any tips on folks I should avoid.  I'm somewhat partial to hiring a neighborhood kid to do this job, but I'd consider using a company if it is equipped to vacuum the leaves up and take them away. Thanks -- Jack
