Your December checklist
Keep traffic off frozen grass
Dormant Bermuda is tough, but repeated traffic on frozen turf can damage it. Vary your path to the mailbox.
Holiday lighting season
Professional installation now means you're not on a ladder in the cold — and takedown is handled in January.
Review the year
Note what worked and what didn't: thin areas, drainage problems, weed pressure. That list becomes your spring plan.
Book spring services early
Weekly mowing routes and spring cleanup schedules fill fast. Getting on the books in winter guarantees your spot.
Pro tip
Winter is the easiest time to get on a weekly mowing schedule — routes are set before the spring rush.
