We are busy doing our leaf removal this time of the year and are often asked should I remove my leaves. If your property has many trees (which we think is beautiful) and you have a nice lawn beneath it. The answer is a resounding YES. If leaves are left they will rot and decay which will provides an anaerobic environment where the grass will suffocate underneath and will be decomposed with the leaves. It is a natural art of decomposition.
If your property has immature or smaller trees and the eaves are relatively scattered throughout property you are best to mulch the leaves right on the lawn. The will add organic matter to the lawn which is in essence a slow release fertilizer. Our advice would be to mulch mow more times so that you lawn mower can handle the leaves and its free exercise. We call it mulch-a-cise.
