can you keep your tree leaves on the lawn?

Question

My spouse says you cannot keep the leaves on the lawn and that it is bad for it. I say you can as long as you mulch them into it.

Answer 1

If you mulch them, it is fine and can actually be helpful to your lawn. You do want to be careful not to leave too thick of a layer though, as this will block sunlight to the leaves in the spring and the grass will die off.
