Proper mowing techniques are crucial for maintaining a healthy, attractive lawn. Follow these professional tips to achieve the perfect cut every time.
Mowing Height
Keep your grass at the optimal height for its type. Most cool-season grasses should be kept at 2.5-3.5 inches, while warm-season grasses can be shorter.
Mowing Pattern
Alternate your mowing pattern each time to prevent soil compaction and ensure even growth. Try mowing in different directions each week.
Mowing Tips
- Never remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade length
- Keep mower blades sharp for clean cuts
- Mow when the grass is dry
- Leave grass clippings on the lawn for natural fertilizer
