As the crisp fall air settles over Kansas City, there’s one thing every homeowner can count on—leaves. They’re beautiful when they first change color, but once they start dropping, it’s a different story. Well, if you’re into fall foliage and leaf peeping, this is probably not ideal for the Kansas City area. But either way, a few cold mornings are going to drop the leaves directly onto your lawn—and believe us, it’s not good to have them left there.
Why Leaving Leaves on Your Lawn Is a Problem
While it might seem harmless to let the leaves sit until spring, the reality is that a thick layer of fallen leaves can cause real harm to your yard and landscaping. Here’s why:
-
Increased Acidity in Soil: As leaves decompose, they release acids that can alter your soil’s pH, making it harder for grass and plants to thrive.
-
Blocking Sunlight: A blanket of leaves blocks much-needed sunlight from reaching your lawn and landscape elements, slowing photosynthesis and growth.
-
Trapping Moisture and Diverting Water: Leaves hold moisture on the surface, creating soggy spots while diverting rainfall away from the roots that actually need it.
-
Suffocating the Soil: Without airflow, your grass and soil can’t breathe properly—leading to mold, disease, and even dead patches by spring.
