Sorry failed to mention I'm in Puerto Plata Torre Alta. Tried rake doesn't work,even tried a broom which was better but still not very good. No grass only small white rocks. Need leaf blower. That Black and Decker looks like it would work, thanks

I have a multi purpose weed trimmer that can change heads - trimmer to blower.
Also has a blade trimmer in addition to the string

we use the blower for gravel... the driveway leaves

Day rate for a man -- about 450-550 pesos

500 pesos would be about right... you might get someone for less...
500 might ensure he comes back

What is typical pay for a semi skilled worker type guy - like a mason? For a days worth of labor?

You might be better off to buy a leaf blower then hire and train someone to use it. The only equipment I have ever seen that a garden owns is a machete.
