How to Mow like a Pro

WRITTEN BY Mary Clare

Mowing is one of the most important parts of lawn care.  So, why not get that professionally mowed look every time your grass is cut?  You may not be a lawn care professional, but you can always pretend!

When you are strategic about the way you mow your lawn it makes it much easier to maintain and keep a healthy lawn. Follow the tips below to help you get that nice looking lawn you’ve always dreamed of!

Alternate mowing routes

Lawns are not supposed to be mowed in the same direction every time. Mowing tracks can begin to wear out the areas that repeatedly take the brunt of the mow.  This could lead to unwanted dead spots and your lawn growing back irregularly.
It is best to switch up your routine each time you mow.  This will allow for plenty of airflow to keep the grass growing.  Take the time to learn a few of the basic lawn striping techniques to get that professional mow look!

The best time to mow varies by lawn and many other factors from how much you fertilize, the time of year, and how often the lawn is watered.  However, mowing early to mid-morning is thought to be the ideal time to mow. This gives the grass time to dry out from the morning dew and let’s you get started before the heat sets in for the day.

Keep Your Blade Sharp

A sharp mower blade will give you the best result when cutting your grass, giving your lawn that well-manicured look.  Grass health and growth is also a product of maintaining a sharp mower blade when mowing.  If blades are dull, remember to sharpen or replace them before mowing your grass.

Take your time

In order for a lawn to look like it was mowed by a professional, you must be attentive to what you are doing.  Take your time and focus on the work in front of you.  Pay attention to the details and layout of the lawn and take all factors into account when mowing the grass.
