# Leaving Leaves on the Lawn Over Winter in Easley, SC

Easley yards get a heavy leaf drop in late fall. A thin layer of chopped leaves can feed the soil, but a thick mat left all winter can smother and thin the grass.

- Mow over light leaf cover to chop it into small pieces that break down into the soil.
- Rake or bag thick piles, especially wet oak leaves that pack down flat.
- Keep leaves off the lawn near drains and low spots where they hold water.
- Ask a local lawn crew about a fall cleanup if the yard has more leaves than you can keep up with.
