November Landscaping To-Do List

Continue to cut grass until it has stopped growing (air temps consistently below 50 degrees F)

Apply winter screening (burlap, wire cages, etc.) to protect plants from cold and pest damage

Cut back perennial garden after several killing frosts; leave up plants with winter interest or wildlife value

Clean up any remaining leaves in the landscape; try to incorporate back into planting beds or mulch into lawn if possible

Take a soil sample from problem areas of the yard and send for analysis of pH and nutrient levels

Make sure hoses are drained and put away for the season

Clean, sharpen, and oil hand tools to keep lubricated and prevent rust
