Should you clean up leaves at your home this fall?
Should you clean up leaves as they fall in your yard this fall? Well – it depends on your goals. Leaf clean up can be a tasky project – but it’s likely going to be done this fall or next spring unless you are lucky enough to have a yard without leaves.
When deciding the timing for leaf clean up, consider these things:
- What impact could the leaves have on your lawn? Too many leaves covering grass can inhibit the growth of the grass and even kill it. If the lawn holds too much moisture, it could even begin to grow mold and fungus.
- How do you want your lawn to look? Are you going for the fresh, clean look? Or are you good with the snow covering your leaf piles until spring? Definitely a personal preference here.
- Consider the environment. If you are able to leave some leaves on the ground, it can help the environment by reducing pollution. When we take leaves to a landfill, we are not helping the environment.
- What is the soil like in your yard? Does it need extra nutrients from mulched up leaves? This is where balance comes in – perhaps you use a mulching lawn mower to keep some leaves on the lawn without leaving so many that you kill your grass.
As you consider your leaf clean up this fall, remember that yard work can be great exercise – but also you may offer your neighbor kid some cash to help (which can make their day) if you need it.
