In some trees, the compounds that create fall colors are present all along, they simply become visible when the tree stops producing chlorophyll. In other instances, the color-producing compounds, such as the anthocyanins that produce red leaves, are produced only when autumn arrives.

For thousands of years, the only way to remove leaves was by using a rake, with the first rake dating back to around 1100 BC. It was a multi-purpose tool, uses to harvest grain during the summer, then used to clean the field of leaves in the fall.

A tree's roots are important for the uptake of moisture and nutrients as well as for basic support. Tree roots typically spread out as far underground laterally as the foliage extends above ground.

If you’ve recently had to add sod or plant new grass seeds in your lawn, you likely don’t want to have to repeat the process in the fall. Having your leaves removed from your lawn regularly by a professional can help keep fungus and rot from killing the grass.

A tree’s root system will spread out almost twice as far as its canopy. Most of these roots are found in the top 2 ft. of soil.

A layer of fallen leaves is more than unattractive, it’s not good for your lawn. The leaves block air, water and sunlight from reaching the soil and grass, and they contribute to problems like snow mold, a grayish fungus that becomes evident in spring.
