This is my lawn. It ends where the leaves stop. As you can see, I had my maple tree do most of my work for me last fall.
Next weekend I'm getting a yard of soil delivered to go on top, then native plants and other pretty flowers that catch my eye on top of that.
My question is… will I have to start raking next fall or will the leaves just keep nourishing and protecting the plants? There are a lot of leaves.
I'm in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of rainfall if that matters.

If you don’t mind the look of the leaves they could stay, but I move some from where I want new growth to get more light in the warmer months. Are you laying cardboard before the soil or just putting soil on your grass?
No need to rake or chop the leaves, maple leaves decompose quickly and will be perfect mulch each fall. Keep it up!
