The present disclosure relates to a lawn sweeper (100) designed to collect debris, such as grass clippings and leaves, from a surface such as a lawn, and more particularly to a lawn sweeper (100) with an adjustable brush assembly (118) and characteristics associated with improved storage of such a device. A user may adjust the brush assembly (118) with respect to the housing (106) without needing to move the wheels (114). The hopper assembly (104) may include a panel (606) movable to be placed in at least two orientations, thereby allowing a user to change the volume within which the hopper assembly (104) may collect debris. Methods are also disclosed for adjusting the brush assembly (118) and for storing a lawn sweeper unit (102).
