By now, most of the leaves have already fallen in the Kansas City area, but if you opt not to have them removed, you could be setting yourself up for a lackluster lawn in the spring. Each year at SK Lawn and Landscape, we meet homeowners in the springtime that choose not to have leaf removal in the fall, and once they’re removed, they find that their grass has been suffocated throughout winter and their yards need complete renovation.
Lawn Care and Residential Leaf Removal Services in Kansas City, MO
In previous years, our residential leaf removal teams booked up quickly, often before fall even arrived. But this year, SK Lawn and Landscape has added an additional leaf removal team due to the overwhelming response we had previously seen. Your lawn’s grass needs three essential elements to grow healthy: sunlight, water, and nutrients from the soil. A thick layer of leaves deprives your lawn of the sun and potentially water which is crucial during the winter months as the air is typically drier than other seasons. While some subscribe to mowing or mulching leaves into the soils instead of having leaves wholly removed, we’ve seen time after time how this dramatically affects the acidity levels in the soil, making it quite simply unsuitable for growing grass. Plus, a layer of leaves left over the course of winter can be a breeding ground for mold, insects, and lawn fungus, which won’t be known until spring which by then is too late.
The best advice our lawn care experts can give Kansas City homeowners is not to put off leaf removal as it almost always leads to a poor-quality lawn. Don’t wait until the snow is falling for residential leaf removal because it will be too late!
