CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – One of the least popular chores of fall and winter is ridding lawns of fallen tree leaves.

For residents with larger lawns, this take can take several days or cost hundreds of dollars to have leaves removed professionally.

One option recommended by many lawn experts is mulching leaves with a lawnmower.

Mulch can protect lawns from the freezing temperatures of winter, and enrich soil with nutrients.
