MOWING AND GRASS CARE TIPS
Continued.
Prevent scalping. Plan your direction of travel to mow
across hollows and humps.
Prevent grass damage. Take care when turning the mower.
Prevent grass damage. DO NOT mow in wet conditions.
Brush the lawn surface to disperse worm casts before
mowing.
Spike compacted lawn areas with a fork. Fill the holes
with sand to improve aeration and drainage.
Mow lawns in a different direction to the previous cut.
As a general rule the grass clippings should be removed
each time you mow. If weather conditions are dry and hot
and the grass is weed free, leave the clippings on the lawn
to help maintain ground moisture.
Mow lawns twice a week when the grass is growing vigor-
ously in the summer.
Mow lawns once a week in spring, autumn and during pro-
longed dry weather in the summer.
Prevent grass damage - DO NOT remove more than
one third of the grass height in one cut.

General lawn in summer. 25mm
Luxury lawn in spring, autumn or prolonged dry period. 19mm
