Autumn leaves are nice to look at, but once they fall on your lawn, you should rake them or use a leave blower to remove them. Why? Because leaves on your lawn will prevent your grass from getting the sunlight and air it needs. This could lead to unpleasant repercussions, including disease. Do this at least once a week for maximum benefits. You can also use a mulching mower to chop up the leaves on the lawn; they can serve as compost for your grass.
