Follow these mowing tips to bring out the best in your lawn.

  • Sharpen Your Blades

    Dull mower blades damage your turf. Keep mower blades sharp to prevent lawn diseases and unsightly turf.

  • Water the Day Before You Mow

  • Mow in the Coolest Part of the Day

  • When its Hot, Mow the Lawn Higher

    Higher mowing promotes deeper root growth, reduces water loss from evaporation, and helps keep weeds from coming up.

  • Never Remove More Than a Third of the Grass Blade When Mowing

Finally, in most situations, bagging the clippings is unecessary. The clippings provide vital nutrients for the soil, so a mulching mower can be the perfect tool.
