The leaves that collect on the ground also block sunlight to other plants and grasses in the yard, causing fungus growth and other diseases.Lawn Maintenance Companies are EfficientProfessional lawn care companies should always be prepared with a large vacuum, a truck, rakes and other supplies as well as leave blowers to make the fall cleanup process as simple as possible.Homeowners will always be able to tell how efficient their lawn care company is based on how little leaf remains they leave behind.
