A couple of people (have nice lawns, gardins, and so on --

And if so, why?

Well you can keep it clean and fertilize like crazy every year to
replace the nutriments that the grass and trees used to make those
leaves. while slowly reducing the overall quality of your soil or you
can mulch the leaves. I would suggest that when the total amount of
leaves gets too much, it is better to get them off, but then they
should be put in a recycle pile to cook back to some great soil.
