5 Benefits of Doing a Fall Yard Cleanup

Allows your lawn to breathe and stay healthy.

Leaves covering your grass will deprive it of the air and sun that it needs to stay healthy. If you want your grass to thrive and still grow in the cooler months, you can’t deprive it of the sunlight it needs. Your grass stores that energy in its roots. Your grass will thank you over the fall and into spring if those leaves aren’t on your lawn. Removing leaves and twigs from your lawn is one of the best things you can do for it.

Keeps your lawn healthy during winter.

Removing leaves from your lawn is important in keeping your lawn healthy in the fall, but also preparing it for the winter. If it snows in the winter, and you have leaves on your lawn, the water/snow will not be able to drain. Your lawn needs that air circulation to survive the cold months. If you leave wet leaves on your lawn, this can create a breeding ground for mold or fungus. Keep your lawn clean during the winter and it will help growth when the weather warms up in the spring!

Stops the spread of fungi and other diseases.

Leaf clutter can cause potential damage to your lawn such as diseases, mold, and fungus. If the leaves on your lawn keep in moisture from rain, dew, or even snow, there is the possibility of mold and fungus growing. Not only would this be harmful to your lawn but could be harmful to you too. If you walk through moldy leaves, you could be kicking up spores into the air around you. But don’t worry, removing those leaves will prevent that from happening!

Limits rodents and insects.

In the cooler months, insects and rodents look for homes to stay warm in. You know what is perfect for them? Those leaves and twigs that are building up on your lawn. If you get rid of all that clutter, then they won’t be able to live on your property. No one wants to be walking through leaves and suddenly get bitten by some sort of rodent. Plus, if they make a home of your yard, what is stopping them from coming into your door? So, get rid of those leaves!

Your yard will look good.

Similar to having that lush, manicured lawn during the warmer months, cleaning the leaves off your lawn will give you that same feeling in the cooler months. You still want your property to be the best looking on the block. Cleaning all that clutter and debris will keep your yard looking beautiful. The first thing a person will notice in the fall is how much leaves you have on your lawn.
