Knoxville is full of mature trees, and when they drop their leaves, the lawn underneath pays for it. A thick, wet mat of leaves blocks sunlight and air from the grass, and by spring you can find thin or dead patches right where the leaves sat longest.
Leaves also collect in flower beds, around foundations, in corners, and along fences. Left there, they hold moisture against plants and siding and give pests a place to hide.
The best approach is to remove leaves in several passes through the fall rather than waiting for every last one to drop. Light leaf cover can be mulched with the mower, but heavy cover needs to be blown, raked, and hauled away.
Clear driveways, walks, and patios too. Wet leaves are slippery, and they stain concrete and pavers if they sit.
