    Lawn Mowing Tips Mowing Frequency

    If there is a secret to the perfect lawn, it is this: Mow often!

    Mowing often offers many advantages, frequent mowing:

    • Removes less blade leaf each time, so the grass suffers less shock.
    • Encourages lateral growth of tillers and stolons, which thickens the turf.
    • Reduces the need for water.
    • Decreases fertilizer needs since smaller clippings revert to nitrogen quickly.
    • Prevents weeds from gaining a foothold since it creates a healthier lawn, and cuts the weeds off before they have a chance to produce seed.
    • Decrease thatch.
    • Reduces the chances of attack by fungus.
    • Reduces cover for insects.
    • For these reasons, frequent mowing reduces the need for herbicides, insecticides, fungicides.

    With the need for less fertilizer, water, and pesticide, mowing frequency also saves you money!
