Raking fall leaves can seem like a chore and a never-ending one at that. Reduce time and effort spent managing fall leaves by putting this valuable resource to work in your landscape. Recycle leaves right where they fall. Mow the lawn and shred the leaves at the same time. As long as you can see the grass blades through the leaf pieces, the lawn will be fine.
