Can you mulch too many leaves?

• <div><p>It’s possible to over-mulch leaves. If the leaf mulch is thick enough that it’s blocking and smothering the grass, that’s a problem. Ideally, you should still be able to see the grass when you’re done mulching to ensure its ability to continue growing. The solution is to make another pass at the top layer of leaf mulch to collect some of the top layer.</p></div>

How do I dispose of excess wood?

• <div><p>Wood is a very versatile material, so you can either compost it, use it for firewood, turn it into wood chips, or save it for future projects. If you don’t want excess wood cluttering your garage or workspace, you can call local community centers or schools to see if they have a need for it.</p></div>

Chip arrived to look at it and give a quote. He was very helpful. Told me that replacing the glass wouldn't help. And walked me through some options. I didn't end up replacing the glass, so no work was done. But I was happy with their communication and advice.
