Mulching and mowing
We mulch leaves back into the turf whenever conditions allow. This approach adds organic matter to the soil and reduces cleanup volume.
Maintain Your Property Property This Fall with Reliable Leaf Management Services
Professional leaf management keeps your yard healthy and clear so your lawn stays in great shape going into winter. Accumulated leaves can smother turf, attract pests, and promote mold growth. A timely seasonal cleanup is an essential part of proper landscape maintenance.
The TurfGuy, based in Kokomo, Indiana, provides reliable leaf management services throughout Howard, Tipton, and Hamilton counties. Our team works diligently each fall to help property owners stay ahead of leaf buildup. We manage the labor-intensive work so you can enjoy a clean, safe, and well-maintained outdoor space.
Why Leaf Management Matters for Turf and Soil
Seasonal leaf management keeps your lawn healthier, your soil more active, and your property easier to maintain.
Stronger turf health: Grass grows thicker and more evenly when it gets sunlight and airflow. Removing or mulching leaves prevents turf from being smothered during peak fall drop.
Improved soil quality: Mulched leaves break down and return nutrients to the soil. This boosts organic content and supports stronger root systems over time.
Fewer pest problems: Clear lawns reduce the chance of insects and rodents settling in. Managing leaf buildup limits hiding spots and keeps activity in check.
Better seasonal transitions: A managed lawn moves into winter in better condition. You avoid spring delays caused by soggy buildup and matted debris.
Cleaner overall appearance: A lawn without leaf piles looks sharp and well-kept. Beds, walkways, and turf edges stay visible and easier to maintain.

Protect Your Lawn with Leaf Management Services
When leaves break down in place, they either feed the soil or choke your lawn. Mulching the right volume of dry leaves returns nutrients and improves soil texture. Leaving too much behind creates buildup that blocks light, traps moisture, and increases the chance of turf damage through winter.
