Reply to comment by richg0404 in New homeowner lawn/ snow removal priorities by Voyyagr

I think that’s where I went wrong. I thought I would be clever and wait until all the leaves had fallen before I did anything. I have a ton of leaves now and there are many areas where the grass is completely covered.

My plan to get a leaf blower and do it all in a day didn’t go very well. I’ll have to continue next weekend!

Your best bet would be to spread the leaves out a little with a rake first to let them dry a bit and then blow them.

Leaving a pile of leaves or even mulched leaves will kill your lawn. If you had started mulching early (which would have spread the mulch more) would probably have been ok but piles don't.
