We are much obliged for a pleasant Summer stay, are we not? Now the Autumn moon lights our way as the sun goes down earlier every day, and you’re probably noticing the increasing crunch of leaves underfoot. The task of raking up leaves, bagging them, and hauling them out to the curb is just one more thing added onto an already busy Fall schedule, but it needs to be done for several reasons:

Your Lawn Will Thank You

Leaves covering the lawn might be a quintessential Fall vision, but in reality, those leaves need to be cleared away in order to allow your grass to soak up the last bits of sunlight before Winter and the nutrients that come with it. Build-up of leaves can lead to unwanted bugs and pests that can wreak havoc on the lawn’s root system, as well as disease like brown patch and snow mold, among others. It also causes thatch build-up, which is dead organic material that provides the lawn with nutrients, but too much of it can suffocate the grass.
