What's this?

I think these are just oak trees - would be too much to do at once


but I'm trying to figure out if there's any harm in doing them weekly, i.e. a little bit at a time. The trees are mature, so there's a lot of big leaves.

In the past, I've had my landscape guy come and do all of them - he comes 2-3 times, and takes a way a ton of leaves. It would take me an entire weekend to do that one time. My thought is that I can just mow in under an hour and stay on top of it.
