Triggy's first answer was the best --- depends on where you're located. That's why it's best to put a general location in your info.
I'll probably go into the pond this weekend to trim back the lillies & iris, take the floaters out for the winter, and make sure all the lights are cleaned from algae deposits. After Thanksgiving I'll put the buildings in the barn for the winter. Other than that, it's make sure mama gets the long johns down outta the attic so I can plow snow if it happens. (we don't get a lot here in southern DE)
With the plants trimmed back for the winter, I'll have room to play with my r/c tugboat in the pond till it ices over.
My seasonal preparations are: 1. Trimming the water hyacinth (mid summer through fall)
Then again I choose to live in sunny sandy eggo, where we have only four seasons, dry, warm, landslide, and fire.

In my case that's time to open all the windows and doors, save on electric, get out and get going on the out door line and clean-up the gardens and really enjoy it here.
Turn the ball Green, an run trains almost daily.

That all depends on where you live. If you live in Greenland and face 50 feet of snow, your requirements will be significantly different than if you live in Florida.
