Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you keep your lawn look-
ing healthy and ensure uniform growth.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different types of
grass. If you mow more frequently, the grown of
strongly-rooting grasses is favoured resulting in
firm turf. If you only rarely mow the grass, you will
encourage the development of high-growing types of
grass and other weeds (e.g., clover and daisies).
The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4-5 cm.
