Expert Tips for Mowing Your Lawn
Mowing is an essential part of lawn care, and it's important to do it correctly to keep your lawn looking healthy and beautiful. Here are some tips from Geckos Lawn and Tree Care to help you mow your lawn like a pro.
Choose the right mower: The first step to a perfect mow is to choose the right mower for your lawn. Consider the size of your lawn, the type of terrain, and your personal preference. There are different types of mowers to choose from, including push mowers, self-propelled mowers, and riding mowers. Choose the one that is right for you and your lawn.
Keep your blades sharp: Dull blades can tear your grass, leaving it vulnerable to disease and pests. Make sure to sharpen your mower blades regularly to ensure a clean cut. Dull blades can also make your lawn look uneven and unattractive.
Mow at the right height: Different types of grass require different mowing heights. For example, Bermuda grass should be mowed at a height of 1 to 1.5 inches, while fescue grass should be mowed at a height of 2.5 to 3 inches. Make sure to adjust your mower blades to the appropriate height for your grass type.
Don't mow too often: Mowing too often can be detrimental to your lawn. It can cause stress on the grass, leaving it vulnerable to disease and pests. Mow your lawn only when it needs it, about once a week in the early months of the summer and then bi weekly near the end. never cut more than one-third of the grass blade in a single mowing.
Mow in different directions: Mowing in different directions can help prevent your grass from leaning in one direction. It can also help prevent soil compaction and improve air circulation around the grass blades.
