That will allow more sunlight to reach the grass and there will be less of it turning brown during the winter.

You can rent a gas powered walk behind lawn aerator or get a manual push version. What you'll be doing is punching holes in your soil for fertilizer to go into. Rake the Leaves Raking leaves in the fall is part of being a homeowner. Unfortunately, much like shoveling snow, this is a task that needs to be done as soon as possible. In other words, don't wait until the last leaves have fallen before you start raking. It's not inconceivable to think that you'll be raking leaves for a few weekends in a row.
