The colorful leaves are the visual highlight of autumn in
gardens and streets, and, by themselves, they are not a problem. However, if
you combine them with the characteristic cold and humidity of that time of
year, the pretty fallen leaves on the ground are a slip hazard. In addition, in
the garden, leaving a layer of leaves can also be harmful to some plants.
HOW TO COLLECT LEAVES FROM THE
GARDEN
Because of the risk of slipping, picking up leaves is
especially important on Garden rubbish removal. To keep
your lawn healthy, we recommend that you regularly remove the leaves from the
grass.
COLLECTING LEAVES FROM THE GARDEN:
LAWN
Don't let fallen leaves stay on the lawn for too long before
picking them up, as they prevent grass shoots from getting enough light and
air. Additionally, moisture often collects under the layer of leaves, causing
them to rot, and over time can lead to light or dark patches on your lawn, bald
spots, or increased moss formation. Therefore, collecting leaves from the
garden on top of the lawn should be a common task during the colder months - a
STIHL leaf blower can help you remove them easily.
LEAVES UNDER TREES AND SHRUBS AND
ANYWHERE ELSE IN YOUR GARDEN
The leaves that fall under trees and shrubs are actually
very beneficial to the soil, so you don't have to pick them up. You can allow a
layer of leaves up to 15 cm thick to form, which will decompose to become
valuable and fertile humus. Similarly, having left in your vegetable rows can
protect the delicate soil from frost and regulate the moisture balance during
the cold season. However, remember that soft-budding plants, grasses, and
perennials cannot tolerate being Garden waste removal.
WHEN THE LEAVES OF YOUR TREES FLY TO
THE NEIGHBOR'S PLOT
All the leaves that fall and remain on your plot are, in
principle, your responsibility, and it is you who must take care of sweeping
and removing them. If an excessive amount of leaves from your neighbor's trees
reaches your garden, it is best to discuss it with him in a friendly way. There
is usually no possibility of legal recourse unless there is clear damage caused
by the leaves, and even then the cases rarely succeed in legal terms.
SLIP HAZARD: PICK UP DRY LEAVES
Always keep roads clear of fallen leaves, as they will
quickly become slippery as soon as they get wet and can pose a serious hazard
to pedestrians and cyclists.

REMOVE LEAVES WITH A RAKE: WHERE TO
THROW BRANCHES AND LEAVES

fallen leaves. The work is done quickly, but not without effort: depending on
the number of leaves and the size of your garden, you may find yourself
overwhelmed and you may have to consider seeking some other help. In addition,

PICKING UP LEAVES WITH A GARDEN
CHOPPER / VACUUM CLEANER
A garden chopper/vacuum cleaner is more comfortable to
operate and requires less effort than a rake. He also cuts the leaves into
small pieces as he collects them and stores them in a sack. This is a very
effective option, whether you want to dispose of the leaves or use them later,
for example, as compost.
