Mowing and Trimming
- Grass growth slows considerably, but occasional mowing is still beneficial if the soil is not too wet.
- Trim lawn edges to keep them neat for winter and maintain a tidy appearance.
- Continue mowing during occasional spells of dry weather, even in mid-winter.
Repair and Seeding
- Carry out repairs to damaged lawns and fix humps and hollows.
- Although seed germination will be slow, it can still be sown in November.
Moss Control
- If moss was a problem last year or is currently evident, apply lawn mosskiller, such as sulphate of iron, using a small distributor for accurate application.
- Moss will grow strongly in the coming months, so it’s important to address the issue now.
Leaf Removal
- Remove fallen leaves from the lawn to prevent shading and damage to the grass.
- Use a lawn mower or rake to clear leaves, depending on the ground’s wetness.
Lawn Care During Wet Conditions
- Avoid walking on wet lawns, as this can damage the soil structure.
- If the ground is soggy, use a rake to remove leaves rather than a mower.
- Lawns can be very soft when wet, so avoid mowing in such conditions.
By following these November lawn care tips, you can maintain a healthy and attractive lawn throughout the winter months.
