the leaves kill your grass

The leaves will kill my ground cover. Also it is a fire problem. The leaves are dry and dead. If there is a fire like forest fire the grass will not burn as quickly but the leaves will ignite very fast. I saw it here in Florida a few years ago with all all forest fires that we had. Ever since I rake those leaves away from my house.

They are like snow. They are pretty for a couple of days and then they aren't so pretty anymore. Also, they damage the grass if left unraked and, as some already answered, they are hard to get up once they have been sitting there and have gotten wet, etc.

Because they're too hard to get up after a winter of rain and snow.

I could be a Fire hazard, it can keep the ground wet and promote mold & mildew, rot grass & smell bad.

Because the grass will rot and won't grow very well the next year.
