dried leaves
Crunchy yard debris
Dried leaves are leaves that have lost their moisture, whether naturally through autumn senescence or deliberately through processing.
The phrase most often refers to tea leaves ready for steeping or tobacco prepared for smoking.
In autumn, dried leaves accumulate on lawns and sidewalks: We spent the afternoon raking dried leaves.
The phrase can also describe culinary herbs preserved by drying.
