Spring has arrived and your lawn is growing quickly. Proper mowing technique and frequency is one of the most important but overlooked things you can do for a healthy lawn. Here are just a few tips below to ensure your lawn stays healthy:

  • Cut off only small amounts each mowing-1/3 of grass blade
  • Mow once per week-more frequently during peak growing conditions
  • Bag grass clippings only if excessive thatch or weed seeds are present
  • Mulch grass clipping back into the lawn for natural fertilization
  • Keep you mower blades sharp to avoid tearing the grass
