The look of a perfect lawn is something to behold. The perfect lines, the perfect edges, the whole effect can add to the enjoyment of your garden and home. However, mowing that perfect lawn takes a bit of practice and trial and error.
Here are some tips to help you start mowing the perfect lawn now:
Sharpen those blades!
When mower blades become dull, the effect they produce can be easily noticed. The blades leave the grass cut and uneven. Making sure your blades are super sharp before you mow will help ensure an even, steady look throughout your yard.
don’t fall short
Even if it’s been a while since the lawn was mowed, you should only aim to remove about 1/3 of the lawn’s current height. Cutting more can shock the lawn and turn it an unsightly brown. If the grass is very tall, cut it once, then wait a few days and cut it again to the desired height.
Cut the outer edge first
By starting with the outside edges of your lawn, you can take the time to cut things like flower beds and driveways and take your time doing it. Now that you have established this perimeter, it will be easier to focus on mowing the grass inside and will allow you to follow a specific pattern more easily.
Long cut from end to end
One of the easiest ways to produce a stunning end result in your cutting efforts is to cut long stripes in the garden. This helps to visually lengthen the area and is very attractive to the eye. Simply cut straight lines from end to end to produce this clean, professional-looking effect.
Trim and edge as final step
After the entire lawn is mowed, trim and edging the outside perimeter as a final step to add that perfect touch to your manicured lawn.
Following the steps above and taking your time to do so can help you achieve your goal of mowing the perfect lawn every time.
