How Can Leaves and Debris Damage Your Lawn?

Regular Leaf Cleanup – the Right Remedy!  

Even though most of us are fascinated by the thick carpet of leaves the fall provides, all that debris can also harm lawns. You might love the crisp fall weather, the trees changing color, the leaves falling – it’s just a charm. And who hasn’t played in a big pile of leaves? However, regular professional leaf cleanup is a must-do for every property. Why?

No matter how much fun you have in the leaves, leaf removal is mandatory for the quality of the soil and the health of your plants. Different trees lose their leaves in stages, so some drop them this week, some next week, some next month. And when high winds start to blow your neighbor’s leaves onto your property, against your house, your fence, your garage door, the matter gets worse! All those leaves, sticks, pine needles, and other debris you see on your lawn in the autumn can cause damage to the turf, leaving it wide open for pest attacks. All those colorful leaves that you see on the ground are the perfect hiding place for spiders, lawn pests, ants, rodents, and other pests.

If you have fescue grass, it is doubly important to keep the leaves off of it, especially if you sowed it this fall. A thick carpet of tree leaves and other debris on your fescues will look unsightly at the very least. Fescue’s growing season starts in the fall, and it will remain green pretty much through most of the winter. If you leave the branches, bushes, and trimmed shrubs on the ground, you might also stumble over them and injure yourself.
