Autumn leaves have been falling for a while, and if you haven't raked them up yet, now's the time to do so. Lawns need to breathe, so don't let fallen leaves stay on your grass all winter, because they will mat down and can smother the grass underneath.
The best thing to do is rake them up and shred them, and if you have one, add them to your compost pile.
If you don't have a shredder, then chop up the dried leaves with your lawn mower. Just rake your leaves into a pile, and run your mower over them until they are shredded into small pieces.
