MOWING TIPS

When to Mow

Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 1/2 to 1 inch above their recommended height.

More frequent mowing is required

for mulching than for bagging. For best results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during the growing season.

Cutting Height

Consult a local nursery or lawn and garden center for cutting height recommendations and advice about specific types of grasses and growing conditions in your area.

If you look closely, you’ll see that most grass has stems and leaves. If you cut off the leaves, you’ll scalp the lawn. Let the grass recover between mowings.

Your mower will work better, and your lawn will look better.

LONG ENOUGH

TOO SHORT

If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don’t take off more than one third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may develop.

Cutting height adjustment is explained on page 16.

Cutting Width

For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few inches. If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower mowing swath.
