# Mulching Leaves with the Mower in Pickens County, SC

In Pickens County, a light layer of fall leaves can often be chopped up with the mower instead of raked and bagged. Shredded leaves break down and feed the soil.

- Mow when leaves are dry so they shred into small pieces.
- Make sure grass is still visible through the chopped leaves afterward.
- Rake or bag heavy piles, which can smother the lawn if left in place.
- Ask a local lawn pro about leaf cleanup if the yard has many large trees.
