Raking leaves is not just about looks, there is a real reason why it’s important to keep up with your yard in the autumn months! Here are a few reasons why we all should rake up leaves:
Grass need to breathe
The lawn will be smothered in a thick layer of unshredded leaves if left on top of them over the winter
That such a layer can invite pests and diseases and can cause serious problems like snow mold and brown patch
That such a layer forms a barrier that blocks water, nutrients, and a healthy air flow from getting down to the root system of your grass
If the leaves are matted down, they can even keep new grass blades from emerging next spring
Cool season grass can be hindered during it’s peak time in the fall
