Smothered and covered, like a really good hamburger that clogs up your arteries. Leaves that cover your turf are much the same way. They clog off sunlight, oxygen, and down right smother the grass.
Nobody has time to rake leaves on a daily basis nor is that needed. Simply once a week, or at least every other weekend rake, blow, or even mow the leaves. Remember, having leaves on the ground is going to happen and a few rarely damage anything! However, when they become so thick you can’t even see the grass you have a problem!
So please, enjoy the fall colors and remember the poor turf out there working to survive.
