Leaves are a lawn’s worst enemy. They block light from grass, smother lawns and lawn equipment, and they cause moisture stress. As the leading provider of lawn care services in Elmhurst, we often see the damaging effects of rotting leaves on lawns, unintentionally inflicted by new customers. We want to help spread the word about the importance of this simple task.
Leaf Removal Methods
The absolute easiest way to get all of this leaf matter off your lawn is with a leaf removal service. Of course, if you do not want to pay for such a service and few of us do, there are some easy and cost-effective methods you can achieve on your own.
- The rake. Raking is more labor-intensive, but it can actually be fun for the family to do together or therapeutic alone. Cheap and eco-friendly—the rake is tried and true.
- The lawn mower. This is an effective tool in lawn leaf removal. When used properly, it can help cut and mulch lawn debris into usable lawn nutrients. Though lawn leaves may look like a daunting task to remove, the lawn mower is the perfect tool for the job and will do most of the work for you. Mulching has the added benefit of allowing the sunlight and nutrients to penetrate to your grass.
- Leaf blower. Blowing the leaves is the fastest and easiest way to remove them from your lawn. However, there are some downsides to leaf blowing. Besides the obvious noise of a leaf blower, a lot of environmental dust and debris can get blown upwards and sometimes in unintended directions. And if you’re not experienced, you might find it a bit frustrating at first. It’s best to have an overall plan for what direction you’ll be working.
