MOWING
Mowing & Mulching Tips When to Mow Most grasses should be mowed when they have grown 112 to 1
inch above their recommended height.
For best mulching results, mow
the lawn frequently, cutting off
less than one inch of grass each
time. In growing season, you will
probably need to mow the lawn
twice a week.
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 iiFUGH TOO SHORT
your lawn will look better.
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 13.
