The right mowing strategy will help your grass grow stronger which means less water, deeper roots, and less weeds. Sounds like the dream lawn to us. The experts at Sunday share their top 5 tips for your best lawn.
Sharpen Your Blades
Dull blades tear at grass making it look frayed and messy, and causing undue stress. What’s more, torn and shredded grass from dull mower blades is vulnerable to disease.
Mow Dry
Wet grass can clog your mower deck and lead to an uneven cut. No one wants that. Besides, walking all over wet grass gets sloppy.
Mow High
Short grass is stressed grass. Check out the mowing height chart below for height suggestions based on your grass type.
Don’t want to measure? Set your mower to the highest setting.
Mow Often
Mow regularly and only take a third of the grass blade off at a time. Cutting off large portions of grass at a time weakens and stresses your grass blades.
Grass Cycle
Leave the grass clippings on your lawn after mowing. This allows your lawn to recycle nutrients back into the soil naturally and reduces yard waste.
