The Importance of Mowing Your Lawn

It is best to mow when your lawn is dry.
Early evening is the best time to mow the lawn, lawns are usually wet in the early morning with moisture from dew or fog.
Wet clippings can also clog your mower and dump clumps of grass on your lawn, if they are not raked up they can smother the growing grass resulting in brown spots.
Don’t mow on a schedule if possible, mow when your lawn requires it.
Make sure your mower blades are sharp, dull blades can cause the grass to weaken over time, this makes it more susceptible to disease, insect damage, heat and drought.
Wash/rinse your mower after use.

Why Do We Need To Mow?

It is an essential aspect of lawn care.
Helps eliminate pests from the grass.
Removes debris accumulation in the yard.
Helps spread out the resources uniformly.
Promotes growth.
Plant matter leftover after mowing acts as compost and helps revitalize the soil.

Enhances the aesthetics by keeping the grass fresh and green.

The Ideal Height of Grass

How Short Should You Cut Your Lawn?
- Discover the perfect height of your turf and stick to it.
- Allow it to grow around one-third longer than its original height before you decide to mow it.
- Do not cut more than one-third of its height at a time.
What Happens If The Grass Is Short?
- If the grass is cut too short, it becomes susceptible to drought, weeds, and heat damage.
Why Shouldn’t You Keep It Long?
- It might create a habitat for pests such as mice, mosquitoes, and snakes.
- Long grass is harder to mow.
- It might require more work such as raking to care for later.

Essential Mowing Details

Why Does Slightly Longer Grass Inhibit Crabgrass Growth?
