Mowing is the most basic of all lawn care cultural practices. It involves the periodic removal of a portion of the turf grass shoot growth. Mowing height and frequency have a direct effect on the quality of the lawn.
Not mowing frequently enough results in ‘leggy’ growth leading to a thin lawn. Mowing too frequently or too short results in a stressed turf requiring more water and fertiliser input.
Getting this simple practice right can transform any lawn beyond recognition.
