Cut Down on Lawn Maintenance by Mowing Correctly
Written by admin on April 16, 2010 – 3:28 am -by Francine L. Huff, One of the most important things you can do for good lawn maintenance is to mow your grass properly. While this may seem like a no brainer, there are things you can do to improve the quality and appearance of your lawn. Lawn Shouldn't Be Too Short If you want to keep lawn maintenance to a minimum, set your mower so that it cuts grass 3 inches high. Cutting grass too low can make it more susceptible to drought, insects, and weeds. That's because the root system will be much smaller, leaving room for weeds to spread. A lawn that is too short can also lose more water through the soil. Keep the blades of your mower sharp because grass cut with dull blades may dry out quicker.

In particular, it is caused when string trimmers are turned sideways and used as edgers. Done properly this shouldn't damage your lawn, but it's almost never done properly. The problem is that when a trimmer's string makes contact with the ground, it tends to pull the trimmer head towards the lawn, chopping up the grass and underlying soil. The soil that gets kicked up creates greater opportunities for weed seed to germinate, and the regular beating the grass takes from the trimmer makes it easier for weeds to become established. If you use a lawn service, insist that they use... more

Professional Lawn Mowing Secrets
Written by admin on April 10, 2010 – 3:51 pm -Your lawn needs regular appointments with a mower, but if you're simply checking off the chore with little attention to detail, you're missing out on a great strategy for strengthening your lawn. Knowing how to mow can give you a thicker, healthier, and more beautiful lawn. Mow High Different lawn types thrive at different heights. For example, Bermuda looks great around an inch, Kentucky bluegrass does better around two to three inches. Do some research and find out what lawn mowing height range is best for your lawn, then mow at the higher end of the range. Longer grass shades out weeds and gives the lawn more leaf surface to produce food. Set your mower high, and you and your lawn will be happier. Sharpen Those Mower Blades Sharp lawn... more
