Q: Do decomposing leaves pose a health hazard?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unlikely your leaves are a hazard, especially if you get to them while they&rsquo;re dry. However, a couple of rare risks exist. University studies suggest that decaying leaves can produce organochlorines, toxic pollutants similar to man-made PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls), so avoid keeping them in an enclosed area.</p><p>Also, leaves and compost may cause the growth of fungi that can cause diseases like histoplasmosis and aspergillosis, as well as mold spores that are unhealthy for human lungs. Again, severe issues are rare, but those with compromised immune systems or allergies to mold should wear face masks when directly handling leaves.</p></div>

Q: Why consider a pro for winter lawn preparation?

• <div><p>The pros are the precise treatments, such as aeration and fertilization, which protect and prepare your lawn for thriving warmer months.</p></div>

Q: Is it OK to mulch leaves with a lawn mower?

• <div><p>Yes, it's perfectly safe and environmentally sound to mulch leaves with a lawn mower, provided that the layer of leaves isn't too thick and the leaves are dry and crispy. Too many wet leaves get sticky and will clog the mower. Thick layers of leaves can suffocate the lawn after the leaves have been mulched, so the layer should be no more than six inches thick.</p></div>

Q: How much can I prune at once?

• <div><p>In general, you can prune up to one third of the height of most shrubs without damaging them. There are a few exceptions to this rule: Pine shrubs, for example, can&rsquo;t be trimmed below the point of new growth without damaging them.</p></div>

Q: How do I clear grass around my sprinkler head?

• <div><p>There are tools known as &ldquo;sprinkler donuts&rdquo; that are specially designed to aid in cutting the grass around your sprinkler heads by protecting them from your mower or weed whacker. You can also use a pair of hand shears to do the job manually if you&rsquo;re willing to get a little dirty.</p></div>
