To Leaf or Not to Leaf


Is it time to rake? Fall is when we’re closing down our gardens and transitioning it to a state of dormancy. All gardens and the plants within them are different. Their composition and location affect how you treat and prepare them. Because of this, you may be better off removing leaves from one garden while leaving them for protection and nourishment in another. If you're not sure, contact a Lawn Care professional in Nocatee FL.


The reason professionals ask about the types of leaves is to determine how they break down so you can get a better idea of what to do with them. For example, oak leaves and pine needles do not break down quickly because there is a lot of carbon in them. If the leaves are maple or birch, they are thin and will break down and rot more quickly.
