Not sure what tree it is but it over hangs my back wall, I can sweep up on the patio but any tips of how to clean it out of the stones ??

Will look into someone cutting the tree back as it's constant but need to clean up for now .

Thanks!

Vacuum cleaner with the upholstery nozzle - just enough suck to pick up the leaves but not enough to pick up the stones?

@MereDintofPandiculation thanks! Will give that a go.

They're pine needles. You'll be facing a never ending battle if you're going to worry about them!

looks like the dreaded Lylandli if its yours get rid they grow to be monsters, if not ask the owner to cut to inline with top of wall and keep it there, horrible horrible things

I put an old sheet down, the clippings fall onto that, wrap it up and dispose in the garden or compost bin

Agree, it's a leylandii, they are awful. If it is close to a wall, then that is going to cause problems with the foundations.

Thanks , it's behind my back garden wall but the grounds are managed by a maintenance company so will talk to them about it , it's already a monster and taller than our house !
