The health of your grass is based on many factors, including watering, fertilization, drainage, and herbicides. Mowing your lawn is also incredibly important when it comes to its health.
Mowing properly allows the strongest blades to grow back after the mow, while the weaker blades die off. This encourages stronger and healthier growth overall. This also helps prevent weeds, because it allows the grass to compete better for resources like water and sunlight. Mowing weeds before they flower also prevents some species from spreading their seeds across the yard.
If you mow once a week during the growing season, it means less of an intense cut each time. If you allow the grass to grow too tall and then cut it down, it removes more of the blade and causes stress. Stressed grass is more prone to disease, pests, and other lawn issues.
Lastly, mowing once a week to the proper height creates an even and clean look. This can boost the appearance of your entire property and maintain your curb appeal.
