Fall foliage may be beautiful to look at, but think twice before you allow it to accumulate on your lawn.  If you don’t keep up with leaf removal, a blanket of leaves can suffocate your grass and block it from getting the sunlight, water and nutrients it needs.  A good rule of thumb is that if you can’t see your lawn through the leaves, it can’t grow.

Proper leaf cleanup will give your grass enough room to breathe and help it come back healthier in the spring.  Remove thick layers of leaves – especially those that are heavy and matted from rainfall – before they damage your lawn.
