Use a blower.
Get a blower that's also a mulcher and let it suck them right up until the bag is full. Empty the bag and start again. Can use it as mulch or compost material. Or toss it. 👩🌾
Rake them? That was always my job as a kid. Or you can hire someone to do for you periodically if you are unable to do yourself.

Hi the only way to rid your yard of pine needles is to rake them up and put them in recycle bags. Pine needle do not break down like leave will. Pine needles are made up of a very strong acidic composition
They make a great mulch for acid-loving plants like azaleas and rhododendrons, so you can rake them up and mulch other shrubs with them.
Yup, raking and/or a blower work best at our friends place in the pines.
