Proper mowing is important for the appearance and health of your lawn.
\nThree important things to consider about lawn maintenance:<\/p>\n
1. Mow at the correct height.<\/strong>
\nThe hotter the weather, the higher you should mow.
\nCutting your grass higher promotes deeper root development, prevents water loss, keeps the soil cooler and minimizes weeds and crabgrass. We cannot emphasize enough, the fact that mowing higher helps prevent crabgrass! As we have seen in side by side situations, lawns cut short are much more prone to crabgrass.<\/p>\n2. Mow often enough.
\n<\/strong>It is always best to avoid removing more than one third of the total grass plant leaf or blade<\/em> during any single mowing. Mowing too short, or scalping, removes too much of the leaf surface exposing the brown stalks and stems of the plant.
\nIt can take several weeks for your lawn to recover from a “scalping” and the stress placed on the plant will leave it vulnerable disease and insects.<\/p>\n3. Keep mower blades sharp.
\n<\/strong>Dull mower blades will leave the cut tips of the grass plant frayed or shredded causing a bleached, tan color and giving the lawn overall, an off color appearance.<\/p>\n4. Avoid mowing during extreme heat.<\/strong><\/p>\n
