Built, Not Bought: DIY Leaf Plow Ready to Tackle Fall Leaf Cleanups in the Quad Cities 💪🍂
Fall in the Quad Cities is beautiful—but it comes with a lot of leaves. Bettendorf, Davenport, and surrounding areas are full of gorgeous trees that shed quickly, and homeowners know the struggle: leaves piling up can smother your lawn, create slippery walkways, and take hours to clean.
That’s why I built my own DIY leaf plow for the John Deere W36M walk-behind mower. This custom-built tool is designed to make leaf cleanup faster, safer, and more efficient, and it’s already turning heads in the Quad Cities lawn care community.
Why a DIY Leaf Plow?
1. Efficiency: Traditional leaf blowers or rakes take time and energy, especially on larger properties. My DIY plow allows me to clear large piles of leaves quickly, saving hours on every job.
2. Protects Your Lawn: Unlike heavy commercial equipment that can damage grass, my plow is built for walk-behind use, gliding smoothly over the lawn without tearing up the turf.
3. Eco-Friendly: Using this plow reduces the need for gas-powered blowers and minimizes leaf waste by allowing for organized collection, which can later be composted.
4. Cost-Effective: Building my own plow means I didn’t need to buy an expensive commercial attachment—proof that smart DIY solutions can save money and improve results.
Perfect for Quad Cities Fall Cleanups
Leaf season in Bettendorf, Davenport, and the surrounding Quad Cities area can be relentless. With my DIY plow, Bettendorf Lawn Care can:
