Continue lawn cutting as needed. Cut the lawn a bit lower the last couple of cuttings to allow leaves to blow away and to help prevent turf foliage from matting over the winter.
Aerate lawns if you have not done so this fall. Make limestone adjustments according to soil test results.
Regularly blow/remove leaves from the lawn. Accumulated leaves will smother and kill the grass.
Winterize your irrigation system now.
Remove perennial leaves after frost.
There is still time to plant spring flowering bulbs.
Evergreens should go into the winter well watered. Their leaves will transpire water throughout the winter. Lack of water in the plant’s system can cause winter desiccation. Consider spraying broadleaf evergreens with an Anti-desiccant to conserve moisture and help prevent winter desiccation.
Root feeding trees and shrubs can be done at this time. Assess your trees and shrubs in your landscape to see if pruning and cabling may be needed. Deciduous trees can be transplanted when they become dormant. Some trees do not like to be moved in the fall, such as Oaks and Hollies. Wait until spring for these. Also consider privet hedge renovation for this winter.
