Autumn leaves

If you are looking to attract new tenants to your units, fallen leaves can be a detriment. A few leaves scattered about may look cute and even festive, but an abundance of leaves can look unkempt and uncared for. They can also become a hazard when they cover the walkway or stairs; especially if they are not removed before the first winter storm. So how can you get rid of all those leaves?

Rake or blow them into a pile. Then what? You can bag them and put them in the trash, or allow them to compost or use them as mulch for the flower beds.You can also blow the pile into the neighbor's yard, but that probably isn't advisable. Burning leaves is often against city codes, so check the law before you go that route.

Mow them over. This is probably the easiest way to get rid of them. By mowing over the leaves, you are actually breaking them into tiny bits. These bits decompose faster than a whole leaf and can provide welcome nutrients to the grass. You may need to mow a few times depending on how many leaves are falling into your yard.
