If you have a backyard full of trees/shade, they will never dry.

Leave them over winter which is when they provide key shelter/food. Winter is killing the grass anyway, and then mow them in the spring to shred them and help them decompose. We mow ours in june and they were gone a month later.

It's one big maple in the front yard, and it only killed the grass in a circle under the thickest part of the canopy. Come spring we had a brown circle that only dandelions were growing in with grass doing just fine outside the circle.

I do think part of the problem could have been the extremely wet fall & winter we had. Felt like the rain never stopped.
