Lawn care and
mowing information
General information
Proper mowing is an important part of maintaining your lawn
in the best possible condition. A healthy and well maintained
lawn is better able to resist drought, weeds and other stresses.
But too much maintenance is as detrimental to your lawn as
neglect. Proper care for your lawn involves more than just
"cutting the grass." To have a healthy lawn, you need to know:
How and when to water
How to fertilize and aerate
How high to mow the grass
When and how often to mow
What mowing patterns to use
Alternate mowing methods
How to solve common mowing problems
