Leaf Removal

Call Now!

When fall arrives in Kentucky, it brings beautiful colors and cooler temperatures, but it also means an abundance of leaves falling onto your lawn. While the colorful leaves might be a pleasant sight, leaving them on your lawn can cause serious damage to your turf, trees, and shrubs. At Henderson Lawn Care, we understand the importance of removing leaves from your lawn, and we offer professional leaf removal services to help you keep your lawn healthy and looking its best.

One of the most common types of leaves found in the Henderson area is the oak leaf. While these leaves might be attractive to look at, they can cause significant damage to your lawn. Oak leaves are acidic and can create an environment that is hostile to your grass, making it difficult for your lawn to grow properly. This can lead to the development of mold and fungus that can damage the root system of your grass, and ultimately, kill it.

Another type of leaf commonly found in the area is the maple leaf. While these leaves might not be as acidic as oak leaves, they can still cause problems for your lawn. Maple leaves are thicker and take longer to break down, which can create a layer of thatch on your lawn. This layer of thatch can prevent water and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass, causing it to become stressed and unhealthy.

By removing leaves from your lawn, you can help prevent damage to your turf, trees, and shrubs. Leaf removal not only enhances the appearance of your lawn, but it also promotes the overall health of your grass. When leaves are left on your lawn, they can create a thick mat that prevents water, air, sunlight, and nutrients from reaching the roots of your grass. This can lead to the development of mold and fungus that can damage your grass, as well as attract pests such as rodents, insects, and snakes.

Mold and fungus can also cause health problems for you and your family, especially if you suffer from allergies or respiratory issues. As leaves decompose, they release spores into the air that can trigger allergic reactions, asthma attacks, and other respiratory issues. By removing leaves from your lawn, you can help prevent the development of mold and fungus, and promote a healthier environment for you and your family.

When leaves are left on your lawn, they can also cause the soil to become too acidic, which can harm the grass and other plants in your yard. In addition, when the leaves break down, they release a chemical called tannin, which can cause stains on your patio, deck, and other outdoor surfaces.
