In Panama City, the winter months are mild, but that doesn’t mean your lawn and landscape don’t need a little extra care. Prepping your yard in November will not only keep it looking beautiful through the cooler season but will also make it holiday-ready! Here’s a November checklist for keeping your lawn and landscape healthy and festive.
1. Clear Out Fallen Leaves
Even though Panama City doesn’t get heavy leaf fall like colder climates, it’s still important to keep leaves from piling up. Fallen leaves can trap moisture, creating a breeding ground for mold and pests, which can harm your lawn.
- Rake or mulch regularly: Removing leaves or mulching them into the soil can help prevent issues and improve soil quality.
- Reduce pest risks: Clearing leaves also helps to avoid attracting insects and other pests that thrive in warm, damp conditions.
If you’d rather not spend your weekends raking, Lawnmasters offers efficient leaf removal and mulching services to keep your lawn tidy and ready for winter.
2. Apply Fall Fertilizer
In Florida’s warm climate, fertilizing your lawn in late fall can provide the nutrients your grass needs to stay strong through the winter months. Fertilizer will help roots stay healthy and ready for an early spring green-up.
- Boost root health: A fall fertilizer treatment supports root growth, helping your grass stay resilient during colder spells.
- Prepare for spring: Fertilizing now will help your lawn bounce back lush and green as soon as spring arrives.

3. Trim and Prune Trees and Shrubs
Florida’s mild winters are a great time for pruning because plants won’t be stressed by extreme cold. Removing dead branches and cutting back overgrowth now will help your trees and shrubs stay healthy and look their best.
- Reduce disease risks: Pruning improves airflow and reduces the risk of diseases, especially with Panama City’s humidity.
- Prepare for winter weather: Clear out weak or dead branches to avoid potential damage from winter storms and protect your property.
