Introduction
Mowing is an essential part of lawn care. However, it's often the most overlooked or underappreciated aspect of landscaping. As a homeowner, you have every right to be proud of your yard and enjoy the work that goes into keeping it looking beautiful! Whether you prefer traditional or contemporary landscaping styles, this guide will help you keep your grass well-groomed.
The Front Yard
When you mow your front yard, it's important to use a mulching mower. A mulching blade cuts grass into small pieces that decompose and fertilise the lawn, so there isn't any need for collecting clippings in a bag. This is better for the environment than using a bagged lawnmower, which means less work for you and more time spent enjoying your front yard!
Mowing your lawn to the appropriate height is a crucial element of lawn maintenance. The mowing height should be determined by the type of grass and the time of year. During spring, summer and autumn you should aim for a mowing height between 20mm and 50mm, but this can vary depending on the type of grass you have.
Grasses such as Kentucky bluegrass require less frequent mowing in cooler conditions (i.e., in winter), while warm season grasses like Bermuda need to be cut more frequently throughout summer months due to their higher growth rate. These recommendations are only general guidelines; it's best to consult with your local landscaper or neighbour before deciding on what height works best for your garden!
Ensure your lawn is mowed to the appropriate height for your grass type.
The Back Yard
The back yard is a place where you can let your lawn grow as high as you want it to, or you can keep it short and tidy. To do either, though, you’re going to need some skills when it comes to mowing.
There are many ways of mowing the lawn. Some people prefer to cut it in a clockwise direction while others go counter-clockwise; some do diagonal lines while others prefer random patterns. Whatever method your family prefers is fine by me; just make sure that whatever direction you choose works for both halves of the yard so there aren’t any uneven spots showing through after the job is done!
Most importantly: make sure that your grass gets regular haircuts so that weeds don't get out of hand and ruin everything we've worked for here today!
Other Areas
Lawns in areas that are hard to reach
If you have a lawn that is not visible from the street, or if there are no footpaths or driveways leading up to it, then it would be best to have a mower that can be lifted over fences. This type of mower also makes it easier for you to reach into smaller spaces and cut around objects like rocks and trees. Lawns in remote locations like these may require special care due to their isolation. Lawns in these areas may need more frequent cutting because they are often missed by passersby who would normally cut them if they were easily accessible by footpaths or driveways.
Conclusion
Mowing is an essential part of lawn care and we hope this post has helped you understand some of the basics. There are many different types of mowers, blades, and other equipment that can be used on your lawn, so we recommend talking to a professional before making any big investments in equipment or hiring someone else to do it for you.
