Lawn Care Tips
·
Mow your lawn as often as necessary.
·
Never remove more than one third of the leaf blade during any one mowing session. When more
than one third of the blade is removed, the grass plant produces less food for itself and therefore
becomes weaker and more susceptible to disease and insect damage.
·
Grass that is allowed to get taller will have a stronger, larger root system that will better
withstand dry periods.
·
Depending on the health of your lawn and the weather, it may be necessary to mow your lawn
twice a week during the fast growing periods to avoid taking off more than one third of the leaf
blade.
·
Your lawn will benefit more if you leave the clippings right where they are. When left in place,
grass clippings shade the soil surface and reduce moisture loss. Grass clippings also add organic
matter to help improve the soil by returning valuable nutrients to the soil such as nitrogen,
phosphorous, and potassium when they decompose.
·
The only time it is absolutely necessary to remove grass clippings is when they accumulate in a
thick layer that smothers the lawn and doesn't decompose quickly.
·
Keep your mower blade sharp! A sharp mower blade cuts the grass quickly and cleanly, using
less of the mower's power, which conserves battery life. For best results, inspect the blade often
and have an extra, sharp blade ready to as a replacement while the dull blade is being sharpened.
·
Alternate the mowing pattern on your lawn frequently. By changing the pattern and direction of
the cut, you'll improve the health and appearance of your lawn. Following the same mowing
pattern causes soil compaction and turf wear from the mower wheels.
