If you leave them laying on your lawn you'll have a lot of little dead
spots. If you have a riding lawn mower you can just run over them again
and chop them up to nearly nothing if they're not to wet or too dry. On
a hot, dry day only takes about 15 miniutes for them dry out enough to
be mulched real easy, doesn't take long. Too much work for a push mower
tho /
