Last lawn care of the season.
While its still nice weather out, and before the snow comes, mow the grass one last time. Put all lawn ornaments away for the season or cover them with plastic.
Trim all flowers down, and add to compost pile, making sure to turn the compost pile one last time.
Go through your flower beds and pull any weeds that may be left, this will decrease the amount of weeds that you will get next spring.
Remove all cushions from deck furniture and store them. You can cover them with plastic, but then theres the chance of mildew due to dampness.
Wash all flowerpots and containers in hot soapy bleach water, rinse well and allow to dry thoroughly before storing for the winter.
Its the little things you do now that will make your work a lot easier come spring time.
