Lawn Mowing Tips

Tips from the Pros - Nathan Riggs

Lawns that are properly mowed are actually healthier and more beautiful…

A properly mowed lawn is thicker and has deeper roots, making it more durable and better equipped to combat weeds…, insects, and diseases. Mowing mistakes can result in discolored grass tips, brown spots, and even damage to the lawn.

General Guidelines

    • MOW GRASS AT A MINIMUM OF 2 3/4″ TO 3″
    • SET MOWER HIGHER WHEN THE GROUND IS SOFT
    • MOW GRASS HIGHER IN SUMMER MONTHS
    • DON’T BAG GRASS CLIPPINGS (THEY ADD NUTRIENTS BACK TO THE SOIL)
