A great looking, healthy lawn is what most homeowners want. There are several reasons why it’s important to get your lawn mowed on a regular schedule. The benefits you’ll see go far beyond just the good looks and admiration (or envy) of your neighbors.
Thicker, Stronger Grass
To get the healthiest lawn possible, get it mowed as frequently as it takes to keep it at around 2-3 inches in height. The idea is to cut only the top 1/3 of the grass blades, which leaves behind healthy blades and allows new young grass shoots to flourish and thicken your lawn.
Even Growth
Grass naturally grows unevenly due to differences in things like lighting and drainage around different parts of your yard. Consistent, regular lawn mowing will help get that even carpet-like appearance. When grass is cut to a uniform height on a regular basis, you are actually improving overall growth because there will be a more even distribution of the resources that come from the sun and rain or watering.
Resistance to Lawn Problems
Common lawn problems, such as bad weather, pests, and disease, can be overcome by having a lawn that is well-maintained in the first place. When those lawn care nuisances hit, a lawn that undergoes regular maintenance will recover much more quickly than a neglected yard.
What Is The Right Mowing Schedule for Your Lawn?
Every lawn is at least a little bit different. You may have a unique blend of grass types, a difficult shade or watering/drainage situation, an out of the ordinary soil condition, or other factors which may mean you need to mow more or less often than your neighbors.
