5 Tips For Mowing Lawns. A healthy and green lawn is the foundation of your landscape. It helps in creating a great first impression on people when they enter your property. Mowing is an integral part of maintaining a healthy lawn, and if done correctly, allows a lawn to grow fuller and thicker throughout the season.

Mowing the lawn is one of the most important tasks of landscape maintenance. Homeowners need to follow a few simple guidelines to assure lawns are being mowed properly. They may also look for a lawn care business that are using the most effective software like the ones at https://www.fieldroutes.com/blog/lawn-mowing-pricing-how-much-to-charge to help them finish this kind of job.

Tips For Mowing Lawns

1. Mow at the Correct Height

According to experts from Legion Landscaping, cutting your lawn at the right mowing height is the single most important thing you can do to keep your lawn healthy. One common mistake is mowing lawns too short. When a lawn is consistently mowed too short, the lawn itself compensates by shortening its root system. A shorter root system means the grass will require frequent watering and fertilization due to the plant’s reduced ability to absorb moisture and nutrients. Mowing too close to ground invites problems such as weed invasions. For most lawns, a mowing height between 2½ to 3 inches is suggested; the upper range is best for summer.

2. Sharp Mower Blade

Dull blades on a mower will weakens the plant and opens it up to disease and insect attacks the grass instead of cutting it. A sharp mower blade will cut the grass blade cleanly. This gives the lawn an even appearance and causing less stress on the lawn, and your mower. Sharpen your blades at least once a month to keep that grass looking great.

3. Avoid Cutting in the Same Pattern

Cutting grass in the same way every time can be damaging to the turf. Proper mowing goes a long way in ensuring a healthy lawn. Rotating the mowing direction will help the grass to stand up straight as well as prevent wearing patterns and compacted soil. Periodically change directions if desired, although mowing the same direction each time should not be a problem on taller turf typical of home lawns, get a top brush killer for lawns to make the landscaping process easier..

4. Stop Bagging Your Grass

Do not bag grass clippings after mowing. Clippings will filter back down into the lawn, and need not to be collected. The clippings readily decompose (they contain 75 – 80 percent water and valuable nitrogen and additional trace minerals that when left on your lawn, break down to feed the soil and do not cause thatch. The only times clippings should be removed are when there has been a lawn disease or when the grass has grown too long and creates clumps of clippings.

5. Avoid Cutting on a Set Schedule

 In the spring, your grass grows fast and may require cutting once every four or five days. A good rule of thumb is to never cut off more than the top third of the grass plant. It is crucial to mow grass when it is needed. The food production process for grass takes place primarily in the plant’s leaf tissue. Mowing too low and infrequently, negatively impacts the plant’s ability to produce and store food. The result is a plant (and lawn) that is weakened and less tolerant to heat, diseases, drought and traffic. After the mowing process you may wait for at least a week to aerate the soil using a lawn aerator rental.
For a worry-free lawn.
