November

1st Week of November

Shrubs and Trees

• Start to look at trees and shrubs for Christmas displays.

2nd Week of November

Annuals, Shrubs, and Trees

• Remove your mums and clean up all annuals as they finish. Get ahead in the spring by cleaning leaves really well.
• Trunk wrap softwood trees, newly planted, and in high deer traffic to protect from frost cracking and deer damage.

3rd Week of November

Lawns, Shrubs, and Trees

• Winterize your equipment, clean the mower decks, and sharpen blades. Add a fuel stabilizer to the tank and run the engine to get it all the way through the system. 
• Hang deer bags on shrubs that look particulary juicy to deer and rabbits like Burning Bush, weigelias, roses, and junipers. 

4th Week of November

Lawns and Perennials

• Finalize your leaf cleanups and cut the lawn down a little shorter the last time if you want to. 
• Cut all roses back to 18 inches. We recommend covering with hardwood mulch.
