I use a leaf blower to move stuff that's difficult to address like leaves on mulch. Get the leaves to the lawn without moving the mulch and rake it up off the lawn.

i don't think a leaf blower would do much. it would get the stuff at the base of the hedge, but you need to get inside and in between the cedars to get all the super dry/flammable stuff out. we've found the most effective way is to give them a big 'shake' and then still get up on a ladder and pull out more stuff that didn't fall.... but to do that the deer fencing needs to come off. it's amazing how much dead stuff comes out the hedge every year.
the deer fencing needs to be fairly tightly wrapped to be effective, otherwise the deer will either just stick their head/nose at the bottom and lift it out of the way or they'll stand on their hind legs and pull the top down (we've seen the deer do both
)
