They stake their young trees
Protect your newly planted trees before the harsh weather comes.
They remove any dead growth and debris
Dead leaves and plants will rot in the cold weather and will cause crowding in the springtime.
They cover their ponds with a net
Covering up any water feature in your backyard will prevent a leaf buildup during fall.
They start prepping for next spring
Plan out what you want in your garden next summer to get an early jump on it.
They add mulch to reduce weeds
It also keeps your soil warm as the cold weather seeps in.
