Cutting grass is an art. Proper mowing increases
the density of the lawn, which in turn decreases
weeds. Usually its the best practice to rely on
landscaping companies for grass cutting services
but you can also give it a try for fun and a good
workout. Here are 8 useful tips for mowing your
lawn and keeping your turf healthy Dry grass -
Mow your grass on a day when the weather and
grass are dry. It makes the cutting easy and
quick.

Well maintained mower - Make sure the blades of
your mower are sharp and balanced. This will
allow you to avoid uneven results, including
random patches of high grass. Weeding - Start
with pulling out the weeds first. It keeps your
grass healthy. Mow first - Most lawn care
companies recommend that its a good practice to
mow first, then trim the grass. Although you can
do it the other way around, this way you reduce
time spent on trimming. Make sure to pick up any
sticks and rocks that may have fallen in your
yard. This avoids damaging the blades of the
mower as well as a possible aerial attack on
cars, houses or innocent bystanders.

Mulching is good - Leave the trimmed and dry
grass in the lawn. This helps the nutrients and
nitrogen to get absorbed in the ground. Use a
mulching mower for this. Avoid scalping - Never
cut the grass too short. Landscaping companies
advise to cut cool-season grasses to 2½ to 3½
inches and warm-season grass to 1 to 3 inches.
But avoid removing more than 1/3 of the grass
blade length at any one time. Change mowing
pattern regularly - As the grass grows, it tends
to lean in the direction you mow. Alternate the
pattern every time, so it grows straighter and
healthier.

Mowing new grass - Newly-seeded grass needs 3 to
4 weeks to get established before you mow it for
the first time. The grass blades are tender and
can be easily damaged, especially if the soil is
moist. Mow when the new grass is 3/4 inch to 1
inch taller than its recommended regular mowing
height. Regular fertilizing - Its a good
practice to fertilize the grass after mowing.
Every turf grass has its own fertilizing time
which varies from 3 to 5 weeks. You can coincide
the mowing and fertilizing day accordingly.
