Fall Leaves: Cleaning up the Lawn,Home and Garden

BENEFITS OF A THOROUGH FALL CLEANUP
IN THE YARD
Once the leaves have started to fall, many of them will come to rest on your lawn. A small number of leaves isn’t a problem, but when those leaves really start to gather, they need to be removed! Leaving a lot of tree debris (fall leaves, branches, and bark) on your lawn over winter is detrimental for three reasons:
Thick layers of leaves can become wet and heavy, smothering grass and inhibiting growth in the spring.
Leaves will break down over time, but the buildup of mold and fungi may eventually spread to the grass, too.
Leaf cover can encourage springtime pests, such as mice, moles, and voles, to be more active and destructive in the area.
All three scenarios can leave your lawn looking patchy and unhealthy after winter. To prevent them, you should remove the leaves before the first hard frost occurs.
Tip: The quickest and easiest way to do your fall cleanup is to use a leaf blower or leaf vacuum. Keep in mind that raking can put a lot of strain on your back and shoulders, so we recommend stretching beforehand and taking regular breaks, if needed.
In some cases, if the layer of leaves isn’t too thick, it’s possible to mulch the leaves right into the lawn with a lawn mower. (Just make sure that you’re able to chop them down to confetti-size pieces!)
IN THE GARDEN
Many gardeners like to leave a layer of fall leaves in their garden beds through winter because the leaves can act as a natural mulch. Like the mulch you would buy at a store, a layer of leaves can provide protection from harsh winter temperatures, with the added bonus of being full of beneficial compounds. However, you don’t want to let the leaves pile on too thickly unless you plan on removing them in the spring, as they may end up smothering plants. A thick layer of leaves in the garden can also encourage pests to take up residence.
Tip: Raking in a garden bed can be a delicate operation—you don’t want to pull up any of your precious bulbs! A leaf blower can help to get any leaves that are annoyingly ensnared in the stems and branches of your plants and shrubs out of the way.
AROUND THE HOME
Leaves that are allowed to collect on the creases of your roof or in your gutters can cause big issues later on, when rain and snow really start to come down. Stuck leaves and branches can cause blockages, which eventually become ice dams, resulting in leaky roofs or busted gutters. The easiest way to clear out blockages is to use a leaf blower with a gutter hose attachment.
In addition to the leaves on top of your home, you’ll also want to remove leaves from around your home’s foundation, as a buildup of wet, rotting leaves can encourage mold to develop on your house.
WHAT TO DO WITH FALL LEAVES
Now that you’ve cleared off your lawn, tidied up your garden beds, and blown out your gutters, you may be wondering what to do with all of those leaves. The most efficient way to use leftover leaves is to turn them into compost! Compost made purely from fall leaves, called leaf mold, is a great source of beneficial nutrients and can be added to your garden soil after a few years of composting. We have different sizes of the wire compost bin for choice. Learn how to make leaf mold here, then check out a few other uses for fall leaves!
