Guidelines for good Lawn Mowing Practices

 The mechanics of lawn mowing

Effective lawn mowing goes beyond mere aesthetics. It enhances lawn density, reducing weed growth. A well-maintained lawn through proper mowing requires less water, making it more resilient to drought. It's a cycle of benefits stemming from meticulous lawn care!

When working on lawn mowing at Ed's, our initial step is to identify the specific grass type to determine the appropriate mowing height. We also consider the customer's preferences by engaging in a discussion with them to tailor our approach accordingly.

We strictly follow the ⅓ rule in lawn care. It is essential never to trim more than one-third of the grass blade height in a single mowing session. While an occasional close cut won't harm a healthy lawn, frequent close trimming can lead to a brown, damaged appearance. Besides aesthetics, excessive mowing can have detrimental effects such as: -

• Damage to the grass's crown can severely impact its health, hindering new growth and nutrient storage, ultimately affecting the entire lawn.
• Reducing the blade's surface area hinders food production via photosynthesis due to insufficient surface coverage for the process.
• Enhanced sunlight exposure may trigger weed seed germination, leading to potential soil compaction issues.
• Increased vulnerability to pests and disease.

Key steps in mowing a Lawn

• Ensure the lawn is clear of children's toys, debris, and any harmful objects like hidden bricks to maintain a safe environment.
• Ensure pets and children are at a safe distance during lawn mowing to prioritize their safety and well-being.
• Prior to using the lawn mower, ensure its safety by conducting a pre-check. It is highly advised to ensure the mower has ample fuel to complete the task.
• Begin by mowing along the edges of the lawn. Move in a back-and-forth pattern, creating neat stripes. For best results, mow parallel to the house and slightly overlap each stripe.
• Enhance the freshly mown lawn by using a roller. Rolling the grass will create a visually appealing pattern of light and dark stripes as you move the roller back and forth. This simple technique adds an aesthetic touch to your lawn.

Final advice from our seasoned Lawn Care Professionals.

• Mowing the lawn in rainy weather is possible, but it's crucial to use petrol mowers for safety and efficiency. Electric mowers should be strictly avoided due to the risk of electric shock when exposed to water. Additionally, in wet conditions, it's important to empty the grass collection box more often to prevent grass cuttings from becoming densely packed.
• Worn wheels on an older lawn mower pose a risk of creating tramlines. Regular mowing can mitigate this issue by changing the mowing direction each time.
• Ensure your mower blade is sharp at the start of each mowing season. Dull blades tear grass, causing it to dry out and discolor.
• Remember to alter the design regularly to prevent creating ruts on the grass from the wheels.
• When mowing excessively long grass, the exposed lawn may turn brown temporarily but will recover. To expedite the regeneration process, consider mowing in two different directions initially, followed by a second mow a week later.
