I’m pretty sure it’s because I left leaves on it all fall and winter

    The trees will show you where you should be mulching.

    That’s what is happening here, imo.

    Unless you picnic there … stop growing grass and mulch it and plant understory plants that like growing in the feet of a tree.

    That's almost good, because leaf litter is habitat for bugs like fireflies (they lay their eggs in it).

    The problem is you've apparently removed it before they could hatch.
