🍂 DO LEAVES ON YOUR LAWN DAMAGE IT? 🍂
A thick layer of fallen leaves blocks sunlight and traps moisture, weakening the grass underneath. Keeping on top of them helps your lawn stay healthy through autumn 🌿
✅ Rake regularly before leaves build up.
✅ Keep paths and steps clear of slippery wet leaves.
✅ Leave a light layer in borders to help protect soil and shelter wildlife—avoid smothering small plants.
♻️ Turn collected leaves into leaf mould! Bag them while damp, make a few drainage and air holes, then loosely tie and leave in a sheltered spot. They’ll gradually break down into useful garden mulch, usually over one to two years.
