Fall Landscaping Tip: Don’t Let Leaves Pile Up

Raking leaves may not be your idea of the ultimate weekend activity but letting an excessive amount of leaves pile up can be detrimental to your lawn. As those leaves get wet and matted, they compromise airflow and starve your grass of key nutrients like sunlight and air. A thick layer of matted leaves can also lead to “snow mold” which can kill off patches of healthy grass throughout the winter months.

A few leaves here or there won’t hurt your landscape but a clear, clean lawn is also aesthetically pleasing to the eye!
