Leaves on the ground help retain soil moisture, and provide nutrients to the soil, so that person was an idiot.

Also, damn you for reminding me that I have at least 3 oaks in my yard that need to come down. I've been repressing that experience.

Take them down now, because if you wait and a big storm comes...

We started with 12. All of them much older than the house. Several came down before that happened in June after our roof got holes punched in it from falling branches during previous storms. It wasn't the only one that came down either.

Now we're down to 4.

Dont: the branches/logs hitting the ground will result in years of tiny pits in your yard just big and deep enough to break your ankle on. And if you hire someone and they break shit it's not necessarily your problem.

I can expand if wanted, but I don't think it's wanted
