If you want to actually get rid of the leaves and not just move them from one place to another, you'll need a rake.
Once in my student years we were up on my friend's balcony drinking beer and watching a worker blowing leaves off from the driveway. It was a really windy day and it took like 5 minutes for the wind to shove the already-blown leaves back, so it didn't look very productive. When the worker was "done" (so, he had used the leaf blower for the whole driveway), he shut it off and lit a cigarette. We shouted at him and asked why he's doing that on a weather like this. He replied "boss ordered, I'm getting paid".
I envy people who can have that attitude. He's still one of my heroes.
