@marlboromaam Apparently, the wood chunks are highly acidic and must “rest” or be stored for several months before they can be used effectively as mulch. That’s what the tree feller said and later in the fall, that’s what the lawn guy said, too.
The lawn expert said everything to do with trees is more acidic than grass likes. So just mulching the leaves in the fall? Not recommended. Rake ’em and haul ’em away.
To restore grass, we need to remove the wood chips and/or wait several months before attempting to grow grass again.
