Many insects and other small animals depend on leaf litter for shelter. Bumblebee queens can overwinter beneath leaves, while moths such as luna and polyphemus moths spend portions of their life cycle within leaf litter. Beetles, millipedes, centipedes, and other beneficial organisms also make their homes among fallen leaves. And they aren't alone. Toads, salamanders, turtles, and other wildlife can use leaf litter for food, shelter, and protection. When every leaf is removed, an important piece of that habitat disappears with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/d42a7eb0-1db6-48f1-a673-a6c29a7ec924/unsplash-image-rf0CYi5TOPc.jpg Blog - What to Do With Fall Leaves in Chesapeake, VA: An Eco-Friendly Guide - Think of Leaves as Nature's Mulch Walk through a healthy forest in fall and you won't find anyone raking beneath the trees. Leaves fall, accumulate, decompose, and eventually return organic matter to the soil. We can mimic the same natural process in our landscapes. Instead of purchasing mulch for every garden bed, rake some of your leaves beneath trees, shrubs, and native plantings. As the leaves gradually break down, they can: Add organic matter and nutrients to the soil Help the soil retain moisture Protect the soil surface Suppress weeds Provide habitat for insects and other wildlife Protect plant roots from temperature fluctuations It creates a landscape that functions a little more like the natural ecosystems surrounding us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/0b567f5a-45ef-458f-8354-0583359b1add/unsplash-image-xsAj4IwTYik.jpg Blog - What to Do With Fall Leaves in Chesapeake, VA: An Eco-Friendly Guide - But Do You Have to Leave Every Leaf? No, and this is where ecological landscaping and practical yard care can work together. A very thick layer of leaves left across turfgrass can block sunlight and hold moisture against the grass. Instead of allowing heavy piles to accumulate on your lawn, move some of those leaves into garden beds, beneath shrubs, around trees, or into designated naturalized areas. Whenever possible, leave at least some leaves whole. Whole leaves provide better habitat for overwintering insects than finely shredded leaves. For leaves that need to remain on the lawn, running over them with a mulching mower is another option. The small pieces can break down within the turf and return nutrients to the soil. The goal isn't an untouched yard. It's a thoughtfully managed one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1789328486300-B48LGFI0PSAKNDGHJRN5/unsplash-image-qgpyba9WQMg.jpg Blog - What to Do With Fall Leaves in Chesapeake, VA: An Eco-Friendly Guide - Create a "Leave the Leaves" Zone If you're not ready to leave leaves throughout your landscape, start small. Choose one or two areas of your property where leaves can remain relatively undisturbed through winter. Good locations include beneath native trees and shrubs, within perennial beds, along woodland edges, or in less-visible portions of the yard. These areas can become valuable pockets of winter habitat without making the entire property look messy. For a more intentional appearance, define the edges of the planting bed or naturalized area. A clearly edged bed filled with fallen leaves looks purposeful while still providing many of the ecological benefits of leaf litter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1789329644631-A47FON8JYA5269LM281G/unsplash-image-GjhVutvNA-E.jpg Blog - What to Do With Fall Leaves in Chesapeake, VA: An Eco-Friendly Guide - Keep Leaves Out of Chesapeake's Storm Drains and Ditches There is one place fallen leaves definitely don't belong: the street. The City of Chesapeake advises residents not to blow, sweep, or dump leaves into storm drains or ditches. Leaves can clog drainage systems, and large amounts of decomposing leaves entering waterways add nutrients that contribute to algae growth and poor water quality. That's especially important here in Chesapeake, where what happens in our yards can eventually affect local waterways and the Chesapeake Bay. Keep leaves on your property whenever possible by using them as mulch, leaving them in habitat areas, mulching them into the lawn, or composting excess leaves. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1789330001438-N98LN2QXN3NJHV5X716X/unsplash-image-eV2x6CmfIns.jpg Blog - What to Do With Fall Leaves in Chesapeake, VA: An Eco-Friendly Guide - What About Composting? If you simply have more leaves than your landscape can handle, composting is another excellent option. Dry fall leaves provide a carbon-rich ingredient for a home compost pile. Over time, those leaves can become valuable compost that can be returned to garden beds and planting areas. It's another way to turn what is often treated as yard waste into a resource. https://www.evergreen-ecoscapes.com/blog/when-is-the-best-time-to-plant monthly 0.5 2026-09-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1789173521673-T7HF0WZLZ7XT8WFCAI2K/unsplash-image-q13Zq1Jufks.jpg Blog - When Is the Best Time to Plant? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1787166695738-QICCGVGXHSIG8WEBQCO8/unsplash-image-tYm4_ggmevU.jpg Blog - When Is the Best Time to Plant? - Fall: Our Favorite Time to Plant For most perennial gardens in Southeast Virginia, fall is the sweet spot. September through November brings gradually cooler air temperatures while the soil remains warm enough for roots to continue growing. Instead of putting all of its energy into surviving heat and producing new top growth, a plant can begin quietly establishing its root system. That gives your garden a major advantage when spring arrives. https://www.evergreen-ecoscapes.com/blog/summer-maintenance-07-27-2026 monthly 0.5 2026-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/99006aea-3346-4579-bc3a-bcd7f76601c8/IMG_3249.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/121c108e-707c-4446-bf6f-a63d72f125b4/unsplash-image-xBFBFpideHU.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Water Wisely We do not recommend watering your lawn unless absolutely necessary, which is for drought protection only. The best time to water your lawn is early in the morning to reduce evaporation and fungus growth. Aim for about an inch of water per week, including rainfall. If you get over an inch of rainfall in a week, avoid adding more water to your lawn. Overwatering can be harmful for your lawn as it causes runoff which washes away nutrients and promotes fungal growth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1785250359700-X3F1OPRNGBAQW26J3P4J/unsplash-image-YhxOrHGrQQc.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Mow High Your lawn mower should be set between 3.5-4 inches in the summer. Low grass can be harmful to your lawn as it causes more moisture to be released, which leaves a dry and unhealthy looking lawn. Leave grass clippings on the lawn to act as a natural fertilizer and mulch which adds plant-loving nitrogen back to the soil. This also helps to shade plant roots and retain moisture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/863df2cb-99dc-4b8c-b5e3-3978b182306d/unsplash-image-UjGSnzfDUl8.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Skip the Chemical Fertilizers It is important to avoid high-nitrogen synthetic fertilizers, especially during the summer to prevent grass burning and nutrient runoff into the Chesapeake Bay watershed. If fertilization is necessary, opt for lightweight organic soil conditioners or compost to improve moisture retention. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1785343228010-CSDLW5TOPHE7NY9OGSB2/unsplash-image-_rgjv1-QNaw.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Mulch Garden Beds Summer is the best time to apply a new, clean layer of organic mulch around trees, shrubs, and garden beds to suppress weeds and reduce soil evaporation. There are many natural choices for mulch, however we recommend using wood mulch as a great natural option. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6a46dce5b5c79c2d50d2dd2a/1785343523193-ISEULKGCAEUPRT4M77OO/unsplash-image-yezSVPAtK8E.jpg Blog - Summer Maintenance - Manage Stormwater Summer storms can be rough on our lawns. Water sitting in your lawn can wash away nutrients and cause fungus growth. Therefore, stormwater maintenance is important to redirect water runoff using eco-friendly solutions such as rain gardens, dry creek beds, or permeable paths to protect soil structure and the natural environment. https://www.evergreen-ecoscapes.com/blog/tag/eco-friendly monthly 0.5 https://www.evergreen-ecoscapes.com/blog/tag/landscaping monthly 0.5
