It's the trees that are consuming my lawn :-) I've been mowing them down
for years, but just wondered if there was another way.

You have my sympathy. I live in a neighborhood with massive old silver
maples. I got rid of my maple, but I'm buried under the volume of
seeds produced by neighboring trees. I swept a bushel off my driveway
in one afternoon. Which is why, when I replaced my silver maple, I
replaced it with a seedless variety.

The one redeeming virtue of squirrels is that they collect and eat an
awful lot of maple seeds.
