Embrace some imperfection in the landscape and resist the urge to blow every leaf into oblivion, says Phillips.
Leaves create a natural mulch for plants and roots and essential habitat for beneficial insects and other wildlife.
Grab your heavy-duty broom or rake and sweep debris manually wherever tidying up is needed.
This can allow you to identify invasive species and remove them from your landscape before they become truly problematic.
