They complain because people have this idea that their lawns must be perfect, uncovered, mono-culture grass, rich green lawns year round unless there is snow. Of course not all the leaves are gone come spring thaw but they’ll break down still. Amazingly the trees of the planet have done this exact process for billions of years without there being a massive pile of leaves across the whole earth. It will be fine

Agreed. I leave my leaves and the areas where they've sat are the first to start growing back in spring. Natural compost
