2 weeks post initially spotted germination and the leaves are falling (plus there has been rain).

1" fresh combination topsoil atop original lawn, and it stays wet/moist for days after a rain (mostly shade). I need to remove most all the leaves I can (1/4 acre) while minimally disturbing the new seedlings. Was considering using leaf blower on very low rpms.

Any other ideas?

thanks,

Or should I set my (push) mower deck all the way up and mulch the leaves? The new grass is nowhere near the cut height of my mower when raised all the way up.
