While raking is certainly an important aspect of cultural care (and one that is strongly encouraged by Weed Man!), there are several ways you can use your leaves to benefit the health of your lawn and the happiness of your family.<\/p>\n<p><b>For Your Lawn:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b><strong>Valuable Mulch.<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Mulching mowers can shred unwanted leaves into tiny, organically-rich particles that will eventually decompose on your lawn. These leaf particles add valuable nutrients right back into the soil, resulting in a stronger, healthier lawn.<\/p>\n<p><b><strong>Insulation.<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0A thin layer of mulched leaves can help protect your lawn from harsh winter conditions, ensuring a healthy lawn next spring. Be careful, though, as too many leaves can smother the lawn and lead to turf disease.<\/p>\n<h3>For Your Family:<\/h3>\n<p><b><strong>Full-Body Exercise.<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Leaves provide ample opportunity to have fun with the entire family. Rake leaves into large piles and jump on in! Get your heart pumping and have fun!<\/p>\n<p><b><strong>Sunshine &amp; Fresh Air.<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0Whether you\u2019re raking leaves or simply jumping from pile to pile with your kids, leaves provide a great excuse for heading outside and rejuvenating your body with good old-fashioned vitamin D.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-2457\" src=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/long-island-tree-lawn-service0003a-470x224.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"470\" height=\"224\" srcset=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/long-island-tree-lawn-service0003a-470x224.jpg 470w, https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/long-island-tree-lawn-service0003a-768x366.jpg 768w, https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/long-island-tree-lawn-service0003a-970x462.jpg 970w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 470px) 100vw, 470px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Benefits of Leaves on Your Lawn Added Nutrients for Your Lawn Once fall rolls around, many homeowners are eager<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeearthcare.com\/tick-spraying-and-control-on-east-end-long-island\/the-benefits-of-leaves-on-your-lawn\/\" class=\"btn btn-lg btn-default\">Read more <i class=\"glyphicon glyphicon-arrow-right\"><\/i><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3058","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
