Autumn Leaf Clean-Up Made Easy with Titan Pro’s Lawn Sweepers

As the leaves begin their colourful descent and the air turns crisper, it’s time to think about giving your lawn some care before winter sets in. Fallen leaves, twigs and debris can smother grass, harbour pests or diseases, and leave your lawn looking messy. But with the right equipment, you can make short work of this autumn task — and keep your lawn looking pristine. That’s where our range of Titan Pro lawn sweepers comes in.

Why autumn leaf clearance matters

Fallen leaves form a layer that can block light and air from reaching the grass, slowing growth or causing patchy areas.

Wet leaves decompose and can create slippery patches or encourage moss and algae.

Clearing leaves helps the lawn recover, reduces debris load ahead of winter, and sets you up for a healthier spring.

Meet the tools: Titan Pro lawn sweepers

On our website you’ll find three key options:

The Petrol Sweeper Self-Propelled 80 cm Power Brush Yard Scraper – a robust, all-year machine that can handle leaves, snow, pine cones and larger debris. 

The 48″ (1220 mm) Towable Lawn Sweeper Grass Collector – perfect for covering larger areas with ease and collecting leaves, twigs and more. 

The Towable Lawn Sweeper Grass Collector 42″ / 1066 mm – a lighter towable option that attaches to ride-on mowers or ATVs and tackles leaves and debris efficiently. 

Each of these helps you stay on top of leaf fall in a way that’s far more efficient (and less tiring) than raking by hand.

How to approach your leaf-clear task, here’s a suggested workflow:

Timing is key: Wait until most of the leaves in your trees have fallen — that way you’re not clearing twice. But don’t wait too long, as wet leaves are tougher to collect.

Prep your lawn: Run your mower once (set slightly higher than summer cut) to pick up long grass patches; this gives your sweeper a flatter surface.

If using the towable models (42″/48″), hitch to your ride-on mower or ATV.

If using the self-propelled petrol version, check the brush height and hopper, and ensure you’ve enough space to manoeuvre around obstacles.

Sweep systematically: Overlap passes slightly, sweep in one direction (or following the contour of your lawn), and allow the sweeper’s brushes to pick up leaves, twigs and debris.

Empty the hopper often: Don’t let it overfill — a fuller hopper reduces performance and may leave debris behind.

Edge cleanup: After sweeping, use your mower or a trimmer to tidy edges, then do a final pass around trees, fences and garden beds.

After-care: Once cleared, you might apply a light fertiliser (optional) and reduce mowing height gradually as winter approaches.

Why Titan Pro’s sweepers stand out

Generous hopper capacities mean fewer stops.

Adjustable sweep heights ensure you can handle varying debris loads (leaves are light, twigs heavier).

Durable build quality from Titan Pro gives you a machine built to last (not just for one autumn).

Towable models allow you to cover large areas fast — ideal if you have big lawns, driveways or parkland.

The petrol self-propelled version gives you flexibility where a tractor isn’t available.
All of this means you spend less time clearing and more time enjoying your garden.

Tips & considerations

If leaves are wet, sweep when they’re as dry as possible — wet leaves stick and bulk up.

Clear leaves regularly rather than letting them pile up — this reduces stress on your lawn and machinery.

Keep your sweeper brush clean and inspect for wear — a worn brush will reduce performance.

Store the sweeper in a dry place during winter months, and perform any maintenance (greasing, connection checks) so it’s ready for next year.

Final word

Autumn leaf clean-up doesn’t have to be daunting. With the right gear — such as the Titan Pro lawn sweepers — you can make the job efficient, even enjoyable.
