Same here.
The lawn service came today to put on the final application of fertilizer (winterizer 12-0-8). But I stopped him and asked if he noticed the back lawn was completely covered with layers of freshly fallen oak leaves. I had to explain that it didn’t seem to make sense to fertilize the leaves that are going to be sucked up and dumped in the compost pile at first chance when the rain let up.
So, after discussing what I thought was not discussable, he agreed to only do the front yard which is windswept so no leaves.
He emailed me the bill later and charged me for doing the entire lawn. I think he musta drank round-up in his youth or something.
