leaf pile

Raked autumn heap

A leaf pile is an accumulation of fallen leaves, typically raked together in autumn for disposal, composting, or play.

Children famously jump into leaf piles: The kids spent the afternoon leaping into the leaf pile.

The phrase evokes seasonal yard work and the particular satisfaction of gathering scattered leaves into one satisfying heap.
