However, care must be taken when trying to use these leaves to your advantage. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When leaves begin falling off trees you can follow one of two methods. You can either use a mulching lawn mower to finely shred the leaves, allowing them to decompose into your lawn, or you can remove grass clippings and leaves entirely &#8212; or hire a <a href=\"https:\/\/signup-web.lawnstarter.com\/cart\/contact-info?intent=leafRemoval\">local leaf removal provider<\/a> &#8212; to avoid possible phosphorus runoff.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When attempting to mulch any fallen leaves, ensure clumps do not form, as these clumps can choke the grass beneath of nutrients and sunlight. It is also highly recommended that you do not mulch leaves right before a heavy rainfall, as most of the shreds will simply be carried off as runoff, creating problems for local waterways due to their high concentration of phosphorus.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you plan on removing grass clippings and leaves entirely, consider creating a small compost pile consisting of 1 part grass clippings for 3 parts leaves. As the mixture composts, you will be able to use this created mulch to help fertilize your lawn later in the year. Simply turn the pile once every 2 weeks to avoid any bad odors.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/what-to-do-with-fallen-leaves\/\">What To Do With Fallen Leaves<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/is-it-better-to-rake-or-mulch-leaves\/\">Is It Better to Rake or Mulch Leaves?<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/leaf-removal\/what-happens-if-you-dont-remove-leaves\/\">What Happens If You Don&#8217;t Remove Fallen Leaves<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/lawn-care-2\/how-to-compost-grass-clippings\/\">How to Compost Grass Clippings (3 Methods)<\/a><br><\/p>    <h2 id=\"2-3-fertilize-your-lawn\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.

Consider Shade-Tolerant Ground Covers<\/h2>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cooler seasons such as the fall offer challenges when it comes to fully shaded grasses underneath tree canopies. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even shade-tolerant grasses such as tall fescue and fine fescues still require at least four hours of sunlight daily, but with the sun\u2019s lower angle during this season, these grasses may just not receive any light necessary to survive.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So instead, consider replacing grasses under trees with a friendlier, healthier alternative, such as organic mulches, inorganic mulches, or shade-tolerant ground covers.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing an organic mulch to place around the base of a tree, decide what kind of mulch would be most aesthetically pleasing to you. Organic mulches can vary between products such as wood chips, chopped leaves, or even shredded bark. <\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As these mulches sit they will slowly begin to decompose into the ground, providing more nutrients to the soil for surrounding grasses.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When choosing shade-tolerant ground covers, decide what kind of plants satisfy your aesthetic needs. Possible options to thrive in the cooler climate are impatiens, coleus, salvia, mosses, ferns, trilliums, wild ginger, lily-of-the-valley, sweet woodruff, and geraniums.<\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>See Related:<\/strong><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/best-ground-covers-for-shade\/\">11 of the Best Ground Covers for Shade<\/a> <br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/landscaping\/types-of-mulch\/\">Types of Mulch: How to Choose the Right One for Your Landscape<\/a><br>&#8212; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawnstarter.com\/blog\/new-york\/native-plants-new-york\/\">12 Best New York Native Plants<\/a><\/p>    <p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Need help with your lawn care in Buffalo?
