Well it depends how much you would use it and how far you need to take a leaf pile from where you make it. If you don't do it a lot a blower, vacuum, etc. would be fine.

That is true because it probably won't cost a lot to build it, so just using it a few times would make it worth it.

Yesterday we were at a clients house blowing the leaves from back to front and his backyard is about half an acre. We had to blow ALL the leaves into a tiny fence gate opening leading to the front and ended up with a huge mountain of leaves before the opening. We used a lot of gas and the whole job took longer than it shouldve. The pile was about 5 ft tall and mayb 10x15. This is only one customer, some of our clients are worse in that matter. I had to move the whole pile about 300-400 feet.

WOW that sounds like a job!! What I usually do is use the blower on heavy leaves to get it into a pile. Then I put the leaves on a tarp and dump them in the road. Then for the rest of the yard I use the bagger on the mower to suck the leaves up.
