The problem with Oaks is that most of the dam leaves don't seem to come off until sometime during the winter which makes the spring cleanup a mess, now the maples and poplars on the other hand make up the bulk of my fall misery.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day ...
show him where to fish and ... you'll be sorry

I feel your pain! I have several oaks in my backyard and so do my neighbors on both sides of me. I can never finish in the fall, I have to finish in April. When it is all said and done I fill up about 40 of those tall lawn bags. It does suck.
