Proper cutting techniques are essential to an Ecology Friendly Lawn. There are few pointers below that will help you manage your lawn like an expert. Mow frequently (every 4 to 7 days). Spring requires more frequent cutting because a large percentage of total growth occurs in May and June. Never remove more than 1/3 of the leaf blade; otherwise, stress will result in browning.... Cut at a height of 2.5 to 3 inches (6 to 7 cm). Mowing at these heights allows your lawn to shade out newly germinated weed seeds, and forces weeds like dandelions and plantain to grow more upright, resulting in more removal of weed leaf area when the lawn is mowed. Turf grass root depth is also deeper in lawns that are mowed high. Sharpen the mower blade regularly to avoid fuzzy mowing. A dull blade creates a ragged cut that causes the lawn to look brown. Mulch clippings back into the lawn. Clippings do not contribute to thatch accumulation when the lawn is mowed regularly.

Wishing all the amazing moms a safe and relaxing Mother's Day!
