Lawn Mowing Tips!!
Feb 5th, 2021
Almost time to get that mower out and tuned up!
Here is a quick recap- Please take a moment to read this section.
Some great tips to improve your mowing strategy:
*Mower blades need to be sharp- preserving lawn health and delivering quality aesthetic.
*Mow in straight deliberate lines- overlapping the previous wheel line- and avoiding circular patterns.
*Cut lawn areas often enough to remove no more than 1/3 of the blade in a single mowing.
*A mowing height of two inches is ideal in most cases.
*Always remove accumulated clippings or ‘grasscycle’ clippings with mulching blades.
*Change mowing direction to avoid ruts and irregular lawn growth patterns.
*If possible- avoid mowing lawn areas during excessively wet conditions.
