Leaves are a valuable resource that many property owners let go to waste every fall. Leaves are blown into piles on the street, left for DPW pickup. Too often piles spread out creating a safety hazard for drivers and wash into the storm drains, clogging storm sewers. Leaves decaying on the street release nutrients such as phosphate and nitrogen (aka “fertilizer”) which eventually wash into our rivers.
As a homeowner, landscaper, or property manager, are there better options? Yes! Mulching (shredding) in-place is the best and simplest solution. It is easy to learn, easy to implement, gets great “green” points, and better yet: actually saves time & money!
Come by the upcoming LELE training event at our new O’Hara Nature Center. Anthony Vulpone will be demonstrating both professional landscaper and homeowner mulching mowers.
Location: O’Hara Nature Center, 170 Mountain Road, Irvington
