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>

I contacted Shon to clear some brush and remove some dead trees around my ten acre homesite. He was very courteous on time and finished the work exactly as we discussed. I will be using rockin E Services for all my heavy landscaping needs.

Elmer and his crew came to fix our deck after my husband attempted to paint it on his own. My husband had the deck chipping within a week. Memorial Pro Painters fixed the deck and had it looking like new again! It’s been over a month now and the deck still looks great!

BEWARE. As a buyer's agent and a homeowner, I have worked with several pool companies over the last 20 years. This has been by far the WORST experience I have ever had. They told me they would begin digging in May and have the pool completed by the middle of July. They didn't actually start...

They did an excellent job removing a few trees. One of the trees was leaning at a 45 degree angle and they removed it safely. I asked them if they can leave some of the wood chips for mulch and they did. Their tree grinder makes excellent mulch.

Very professional and courteous. Provided quote and performed stump grinding in the same day. Left the chips in a neat pile so I could use as mulch and cleaned the street and sidewalk of debris. Did a great job grinding the stump in a very tight space. I would highly recommend them.

Brush Chipping questions, answered by experts

Leaf removal isn’t always necessary, and what you should do with leaves in your yard depends on the number of trees you have. Leaving a small amount of leaves to decompose on your property can add nutrients to the soil and help grass, plants, and trees thrive. However, large accumulations of leaves can promote mold and fungal growth, so you should do at least two fall cleanups if you have many trees on your property.

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.

Yes, many companies recycle concrete, metal, and other materials to minimize landfill waste.

While you don’t need to put anything down before mulch, you can apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent weed growth. As long as you remove weeds before you spread mulch, you should be in the clear. But a herbicide is something that you can put down before mulch as an extra layer of protection.

An herbicide with glyphosate, imazapyr, or triclopyr kills ivy the fastest. Herbicides inhibit photosynthesis and cell division. They kill the roots and prevent ivy from regrowing. You should apply herbicide to the cut stems and roots of ivy. You can also spray herbicide on the leaves of ivy, but be sure not to spray nearby trees and plants as it can cause them harm.
