Mowing is something every lawn needs in order to stay healthy and presentable. It is the most important lawn maintenance task there is. And choosing when to start mowing your lawn can make a huge difference on your garden\u2019s overall appearance.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s also essential you choose the right time of day to do the mowing. Otherwise, you might be left with some sub-par results.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n Perform the first grass cut of the year in spring, around mid-March. From there on, mow the lawn at least once every week.<\/p>\n Try to keep your grass\u2019 height the same all throughout spring. For most lawns the ideal height would be 2.5-4cm (1-1.5in). However, for those that take a lot of wear and tear, strive to keep their grass raised at around 5cm (2in) in height. If a part of your lawn is covered by shade, maintain the grass at a height of 7.5cm (3in).<\/p>\n Also, avoid mowing your grass too short as that can weaken it and allow weeds and moss to run rampant.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n When summer comes creeping in around the corner, double the frequency of your mowing. Mow your lawn bi-weekly(twice a week) on average, only dropping to weekly, during periods of drought. As for the mower settings, raise your mower blades a little during hot weather. Longer grass copes better with drought and keeps its colors more vibrant. It\u2019s also stronger and is less prone to wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n In weeks of drought nip off only a few stalks of longer grass, to stimulate its growth and to keep it nice and healthy.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n When to mow your lawn depending on the season<\/h2>\n
