Mowing

Mowing is the regular cutting of grass to maintain a lawn at a desired height. This fundamental maintenance practice keeps the lawn looking neat and healthy, encourages dense growth, and prevents weeds from establishing themselves. Mowing height should vary depending on the type of grass and the season; for example, higher mowing heights are recommended during hot, dry periods to help grass retain moisture. It's also important to keep mower blades sharp to ensure a clean cut, which reduces stress on the grass. Mowing frequency depends on the growth rate of the grass, but generally, it's best to follow the "one-third rule," where no more than one-third of the grass blade is removed at each mowing. Regular mowing is crucial for a well-maintained, aesthetically pleasing lawn.
