MOWING TIPS
When to Mow
Most grasses should be mowed when
they have grown 1/2 to 1 inch above their
recommended height.
More frequent mowing is required for
mulching than for bagging. For best
mulching results, you may need to mow the lawn twice a week during
the growing season.
Cutting Height
Consult a local nursery or lawn and
garden center for cutting height
recommendations and advice about
specific types of grasses and growing
conditions in your area.
Most grass has stems and leaves. If you
cut off the leaves, you’ll scalp the lawn.
Let the grass recover between mowings.
Your mower will work better, and your lawn will look better.
If your grass gets too tall, cut it once at the highest cutting height
setting, then mow again in 2 or 3 days. Don’t take off more than one
third of total grass height in any one mowing, or brown patches may
develop.
Cutting height adjustment is explained on page 10.
Cutting Width
For an even lawn finish, overlap each mowing swath by a few inches.
If the grass is very tall or thick, use more overlap and a narrower
mowing swath.
