Quick, simple answer "not a lot, except perhaps removing piles of
leaves".


Regards,
Nick Maclaren.

And a final light mow if necessary, but only if no frost is forecast in the
next day or two.

Don't let the lowdown sod make you do anything you don't want to.

Looking at it and thinking "Poor baby! Next year I promise to cherish you
more."

Additionally in my case "Do you never stop growing?".

Cheers

Unless its waterlogged or frosty - when you should leave it well alone -
exactly what you would do at any other time of the year!!
Keep it free of debris (which, at this time of year is leaves and
sticks) and mow it when it is of a length to do so. Possibly the only
thing different is to mow it on a higher setting than in the summer.
Oh, and don't feed or scarify it until spring.
We have mown our lawn in December on occasion!!!!!!!!

I have in the past several times cut the lawn in Jan-Feb during a
heavy deep ground frost. Doesn't seem to hurt it (and it stops your
boots sinking in the wet ground up to your ankles)

How come?
I know the grass under the washing line always suffers when we walk on
it in a frost. Imagine what would happen to your finger if it was frozen
solid and then hit with a hammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
