OP I don’t have a service but I do have more hardscape than lawn available to mulch over. I do make a pile and mow over it, and then I use the mulched leaves as, well, mulch, under and around shrubs mostly. I don’t know if that’s gardener approved - maybe I should compost them first - but it seems to work fine.

I do it at least three times. Twice will be okay if you’re not picky.

No, I'd like an explanation.

If you don't clean/mulch leaves, after rain they will "stick" to the ground - essentially covering and weighting down on grass. If you leave it as is, it will kill the grass underneath. You know how people say use newspaper to kill weeds/unwanted grass? It's the same concept.

I don’t have much grass but the leaves that land on the lawn do get mowed over. It’s astounding that you don’t know that but see fit to comment regardless. 😂

?? Yes, I do know that. That's what happens when leaves kill your grass and sticks to the ground. You can't get your blade low enough to touch it. I don't get your comment.

I don’t get yours. No leaves have killed my grass.

"Once the dead leaves get wet, they are much more likely to smother your grass, depriving it of much-needed oxygen and even sunlight. This could result in your grass dying."

What leaves stay wet long enough to kill grass. I've owned homes for 40 years and don't have this problem.

Now I see the dummy.

They don't. I stopped doing anything to the leaves on my lawn other than raking a small amount in my front yard into some plant beds. The remaining leaves have never killed my lawn. My lawn looks great. I don't touch them at all in the back and I have no problems with the grass there either. They get blown around enough to not affect my lawn.

Lightning bugs and other insects overwinter in leaf littler. We have lost approx. 1/3 of the insects that existed on this planet and it has consequences.

My grass hasn’t died in the 20 years I’ve been in my house and mown over leaves. Why are you trying to convince me otherwise?

Not trying to convince you. I am just explaining what could happen if people don’t mulch or rake leaves. I don’t give rats a$$ what you do.

So why keep quoting my post endlessly? Don’t you know how to make your point?

I figure once mid November and once mid December? Is a third time needed?

For us I don't need one past Thanksgiving, generally.

I just blow them on top of my raised beds. Free compost for spring.

I mow the leaves, not the grass. It's not that cold October & November. But yes, a pick up in mid November and early December should do it. Leaves hang on for a long time in DMV area

I read that before, but I don't know how you do it. One bad windy day is all it takes to blow the leaves all over the neighborhood for me. And, of course, I don't want to make my neighbors unhappy, so I clean it out or mulch.

I wet them after raking if it doesn't rain. It compacts them down.

You must have a tiny yard. Do you know much leaves Oak trees can produce? Enough to choke my 22hp JD riding mower.
