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!
