Deciduous trees provide shade to outdoor spaces throughout the summer months and add brilliant colour to the canopy in autumn. These leaves inevitably fall from the trees, forming a dense blanket over the lawn which will starve the lawn of light and air; two things which it needs to thrive. A small amount of leaves, such as from a single ornamental tree, easily decomposes to benefit the grass, but thick layers of leaves can block light and smother the grass, especially when the leaves get wet. Your grass can die under the leaves if you don’t remove the leaves from the lawn area on a regular basis.

Leaf cover will also help moss to form, which will require further work in the spring months.

Wet leaves are also a great hiding place for slugs and snails.

Eco-Friendly Tip

Use fallen on empty beds and use them as mulch or create hedgehog nests in a remote garden corner.

Another option is to bag up the fallen leaves and let them rot down into organic compost it will most probably take a year to do so.
