The Great Leaf Clear Up!
“The Great Leaf Clear-Up: Why It’s More Than Just a Tidy Garden”
As autumn rolls in and the trees begin their spectacular display, the carpets of fallen leaves that follow can look charming at first — until they start to pile up. A blanket of leaves might seem harmless, but when left unattended, it can quietly cause real problems for your garden and outdoor spaces. That’s why our team at Simon Parry Landscaping & Gardening (SPLG) run dedicated leaf-clear rounds right through to mid-December — keeping your garden safe, healthy and looking its best as we head into winter.
Why Leaf Clearing Matters
When leaves are left to sit on lawns and borders, they quickly block out light and air. This creates damp, dark conditions — perfect for moss and fungal diseases to take hold. Over time, this suffocates grass and can lead to bare or patchy areas come spring.
In borders, leaves can smother low-growing plants, preventing them from photosynthesising and increasing the risk of rot. And on hard surfaces such as drives, patios and paths, wet leaves turn slippery, making them a real safety hazard.
A well-timed leaf clear isn’t just about tidiness — it’s about protecting the structure and health of your garden right through the winter months.
The Benefits Of Regular Leaf Clearing
Protects your lawn – allowing light and airflow to reach the grass, preventing yellowing, smothering and moss growth.
Prevents drainage issues – keeping gutters, grates and drains free of debris, reducing waterlogging.
Keeps borders healthy – stopping damp leaves from rotting around the crowns of plants.
Improves appearance instantly – your garden will look neat, cared for and ready for winter.
Reduces slip hazards – especially important for driveways and paths in shaded or damp areas.
