Have you ever wondered what to do with your yard waste? Many will bag their debris and leave it on the curb, but did you know you can reuse it? When possible, our team here at Stoney Acres always recommends recycling your grass and leaves — here’s why:
3 Reasons Why Recycling Your Grass and Leaves Benefits Your Property
Better Soil
Reusing yard debris is a fantastic way to improve the quality of your soil. Acting as a natural fertilizer, leaves, grass, and other waste break down and help Mother Earth’s nutrients return to the soil. This increases water retention, which by extension, protects nearby plants and trees from disease.
Improved Garden
By recycling your grass and leaves, you can inadvertently improve your garden because the soil is now richer. This will allow your plants to thrive, and thus, improve your curb appeal all while protecting the planet. (A win-win in our book!)
Less Chemicals
You can also lessen your carbon footprint by recycling your grass and leaves because it calls for fewer chemicals. This makes your yard safer for young children and pets, and it helps reserve any chemical-based products for an as-needed basis — not to mention, it saves you money.
Recycling your grass and leaves is a great way to improve the environment, save a few bucks, and increase your home’s value.
