Raking prevents the leaves from returning nutrients to the soil, thus creating a disturbance in the time-space continuum. At least that is my reason for not doing so.
Of course, Mother Nature intends those fallen leaves to remain over the roots, become compost and fertilize the soil, thus providing more sustenance for the tree. Your raking up and removing those leaves is interrupting Mother Nature’s process. Nice going!

Mother Nature wasn’t the one to invent lawns that wouldn’t survive leaves. That’s all on us.

Those trees have to shed their leaves to make space for the new ones that will arrive in the Spring.

Global warming is making fall too hot and dry. The leaves just basically go from green to dead nowadays.

Leaves, I don’t mind. It’s the pine cones and acorns that are a problem.

“What did we ever do to Mother Nature.”? Well if instead of going for pizza, you could go clean up some road kill.
