Abstract
An attachment converts a standard hand-held lawn vacuum into a wheeled device for precisely cleaning leaves and debris from lawns and other surfaces. Wheels are mounted through an adjusting mechanism to allow the user to selectively vary the height of the nozzle to the lawn and thus the vacuum force applied. Various conventional lawn vacuums can be employed with the attachment which ensures time, energy and labor savings while providing a more precisely vacuumed lawn.
