We have had three nights in a row with heavy frost. The leaves

some time every day raking, blowing and mulching them.

 
No so here.  On leaves we just run over them (a few times if they
clump up).  This naturally fertilizes the yard.  Same with raking
grass.  Out lawn is better than most and no chemicals used.  Just
natures own way of mulching with a little assist to make it degrade
to mulch.

 
 
I have a huge maple tree on my front yard and a smaller Norway maple
on the west side. I used to have a second huge maple at the front but
it was removed two years ago.  Thank goodness it was on town property
so they had to pay for it.  There is also a row of maples across the
road. If I don't clean them up every day or two they get so thick
they are unmanageable.

Huge Oak out front for years, 3 large pecans in back.  All 4ctually
were at or just over the fence line to me.  We still mulched it down.
