Mowing Tips
- Don’t cut wet grass. The grass blades may not be standing up straight and this can cause an uneven cut. The clippings are more of a problem and can clump together and mat down preventing light from getting to the grass underneath. Mowing a wet lawn can also lead to soil compaction. Wait until your lawn is fairly firm and dry before cutting.
- If possible, remove clippings from your lawn for the first year of growth. This will give the young plants a better chance to spread and fill in faster. (It is also important to remove leaves that fall on your lawn for the same reason.)
- Alternate mowing patterns. Mowing in the same direction all the time can cause wear patterns and also lead to soil compaction.
- Check for areas that are uneven. Some settling may occur and leave slight depressions. Be aware of this and watch that you don’t scalp the high spots.
