Why clean up fallen leaves? It’s more than just the appearance…

Most of us clean up fallen leaves to keep our lawns looking nice, but did you know that it’s actually important for the health of your grass? If left on the lawn over winter, leaves can prevent sun and oxygen from getting to the grass, essentially suffocating it. Taking the time in the fall to rake, mulch, or bag leaves can help keep your grass healthy all winter and you’ll have an easier spring start up!
