Winterizing your lawn can take many forms, but chief among them are; removing thatch and debris (yes, until ALL the leaves are gone) aerating (there are some neat spikes you can stomp around your lawn wearing) fertilizing with high-potassium 'winterize' fertilizer spreading cool-weather grass seed covering up with humus, peat, or bedding, what have you to protect your beds over-wintering Depending on your location, you'd be able to get most of these from either your local garden centre or hardware store, or check out online pricing.
Provide some extra air for grass roots by aerating your lawn — taking out spikes of soil across your lawn to make holes for planting seed. Aerating is low-cost maintenance and even if it's the only thing you do for your yard, you should see improvement..this would help help to maintain ur garden better and fresh.
i can tell one thing that covering the garden with humus it would protect ur beds from over wintering.
