These are all tips that mowing companies use to make sure of a great looking lawn from Spring to Fall. The important thing is sometimes diseases, fungus and damage are spread many other ways.
1. Mow at the Right Height
• Tip: Keep grass at the recommended height for its type. Cutting too short (scalping) weakens grass and exposes soil, making it susceptible to weeds and disease.
• Example: For most cool-season grasses, mow to a height of 2.5–4 inches.
2. Use Sharp Mower Blades
• Tip: Dull blades tear the grass, creating entry points for diseases and pests. Always keep mower blades sharpened.
• Bonus: Mention your company ensures regular blade maintenance for a clean, precise cut.
3. Follow the One-Third Rule
• Tip: Never cut more than one-third of the grass height in a single mowing. Removing too much stresses the grass, increasing its vulnerability to damage.
4. Alternate Mowing Patterns
• Tip: Change mowing directions each time to avoid creating ruts or compacted soil. This promotes upright growth and healthier grass.
5. Mow When Grass is Dry
• Tip: Wet grass clumps together, causing uneven cuts and leaving the lawn more susceptible to fungal diseases.
6. Mulch Grass Clippings
• Tip: Mulched clippings return nutrients to the soil, improving lawn health. This also reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers.
7. Mow Regularly and Consistently
• Tip: Stick to a schedule based on grass growth. Inconsistent mowing can stress the lawn and lead to patchy or overgrown areas.
8. Avoid Mowing in Extreme Heat
• Tip: Mowing during hot weather can further stress the grass. Early morning or evening is the best time to mow during the summer.
9. Clean Equipment Between Jobs
• Tip: Dirty equipment can spread fungus and diseases from one yard to another. Highlight that your team sanitizes equipment regularly.
10. Adjust Mower Height Seasonally
• Tip: Raise the mowing height in summer to reduce stress and shade the soil, which helps retain moisture and prevent weeds.
