Keeping Your Lawn Healthy Through Routine Mowing

There is an art to maintaining a healthy lawn, and mowing is an integral part of any lawn care regimen. As lawn care professionals, we understand the importance and substance of maintaining a healthy lawn. Some general guidelines for mowing include:

1. Don’t cut the grass too short: To cut the grass too short is to scalp the lawn. If you scalp the lawn, this will leave more soil exposed, which can help weeds to take root. Additionally, scalping the lawn will lead to poorer root systems in the grass, which can invite more significant stress on the lawn during drought or extreme temperatures. An expert lawn care specialist can help to determine the appropriate length of the grass. 

2. Keep the lawn mower blades sharp: Keeping mower blades sharp will help to cut the grass cleanly. Dull mower blades can create tears in the grass that pests and diseases can take advantage of. Using professional lawn care specialists will ensure that your lawn is being mowed with the best, most professionally maintained equipment.
3. Change the mowing height according to the growing season: It is essential to change the height of the mower in response to times of the year, as grass with grows faster at specific times rather than others. In the heat of the summer, it is wise to allow the grass to grow higher before cutting, resulting in less water evaporation.
4. Adjust the mowing height to the level of shade: In the shadier regions of your yard, it is vital to use a higher mowing height to allow the areas receiving less sunlight to capture more. A lawn care specialist will be able to determine where to mow higher, to maintain a consistently healthy yard, no matter the level of shade.
5. Avoid mowing in moist/wet conditions: It is essential to avoid mowing when conditions become damp, such as in the first few days following significant rainfall. When mowing a damp lawn, it may be mowed far more unevenly due to the wet grass that can clog the mower deck. Mowing is soggy soil can also lead to ruts and tearing up the grass, mainly if the blades are not sharp.
6. Mow only at certain times of day: Mowing places stress on your grass. Therefore, it is best to mow during times of the day that water loss would be minimized, so that the grass can recover faster. An experience lawn care professional can help with mowing at the cooler times of the day, working with your busy schedule and giving you time to enjoy the lawn at the end of the day.
7. Allow sufficient time in between each mowing: One important and often overlooked aspect of mowing is that it is vital to allow the grass to grow back enough to recover and retain moisture. Like putting the blade on the mower too short, mowing too often can stunt the growth of the grass and cause the health of the lawn to decline. Mowing frequency will change depending on the time of the year. Qualified lawn care professionals will be able to help you understand how much you should be mowing at what times of the year, and when not to mow at all.

Mowing techniques for a healthy lawn

• Edging: Flat edging alongside driveways, paved surfaces and planting areas. Mowing in this way and landscaping with edging in mind can help to get your lawn a much cleaner look. The landscaping professionals here at Midwest Lawn Co can help both with mowing and meeting your landscaping needs.
• Grasscycling: Good news! To keep a lawn healthy, it is not necessary to bag your clippings. Grass clippings can help to fertilize the yard, and with professional help, you will have access to mowing equipment that allows us to cut the grass more finely. This allows the grass to decompose faster, keeping the lawn looking clean while providing all of the benefits of leaving the clippings on.
• Hillside mowing: In the hills of West County, we often encounter lawns that have numerous hills and other tricky topography. Mowing on slopes can be very difficult, and this is a job that is usually best left to the professionals. We have the equipment and expertise to make sure that every part of your yard is properly mowed and maintained.
• Changing the mowing pattern: Mowing in the same fashion each time can lead to the grass being more compacted, and ruts developing. These areas are where weeds can thrive. Using a professional lawn care service can help you keep track of the mowing patterns, and you can enjoy and reap the benefits.
• Make sure that the lawn is free of debris: A critical service that a lawn care expert can perform is making sure that the yard is free of debris, such as pebbles, discarded wood and other items that can cause damage to the lawn and equipment if mowed over. A clean lawn is one that is fit for mowing and will ensure that it is not damaged while mowing.
