Lawn Leaf Clearing Service

Leaves left on your lawn can kill your grass

During the autumn months of October, November and December, leaves fall from our trees. These leaves are blown around and settle on lawns. Over the weeks if these leaves are left on the lawn then they can shade out the grass underneath, causing it to die.

The Lawn Man is able to visit in these late season months and clear the leaves from your lawn. The leaves can either be blown into the borders and left to rot into the soil, collected up and stored to make leaf mould, or taken away. It can also be part of your regular treatment package in Treatment 5.

Leaf clearing is much easier on a calm, dry day. Ideally the leaves are all down from the trees and have dried out on the lawn.

Time needed to apply the treatment

This is entirely dependant on the size of the lawn and amount of leaves needed to be cleared.

Additional Recommended Treatments

Treating your lawn to guard against an attack of snow mould is a great idea at this time of year. Damp conditions under leaves can be a haven for fungal diseases.

A moss control treatment is also a good treatment to put down after clearing leaves, as all areas of the lawn can be easily accessed.
