1. Schedule pruning to promote good canopy structure and prepare trees for winter storms. This especially applies if you have oak or elm trees.

2. Aerate your lawn to reduce soil compaction, allow nutrients a better path into the soil and improve the root density of your turf.

3. Schedule dormant oil treatment to reduce overwintering insect populations.

4. Use hardware cloth or fencing to protect susceptible trees or shrubs from rabbit or mice damage over the winter.

5. Schedule a deep-root fertilization or soil amendment treatments to optimize fall root growth and development.

6. Give your evergreen plants one last deep watering before putting the garden hose away for the winter.

7. Schedule an anti-desiccant treatment to reduce moisture loss from evergreen trees and shrubs over the harsh winter months.

8. Burlap any plants that could suffer from salt spray, strong winds or deer feeding over the winter.

9. Remove any large accumulations of leaves that could cause turf dieback over the winter.
