Lawn Mowing Tips by MXMX Gardening Services London
When it comes to gardening it is fair to say that lawn mowing is the key to a healthy lawn.
As any gardening professional will attest, each cut encourages the grass to grow back more thickly, creating a truly lustrous green and luxuriant look. Additionally, this kind of garden maintenance helps block weeds and can make your grass and lawned areas much more hard-wearing.
Gardening can be time consuming, so getting professional gardening services at your London property can offer many benefits.
Regular Mowing Gardening Services
At the start of every growing season you should get gardening services Harrow that include mowing your lawn, where a professional can ensure a clean, quality cut, every time. As our team knows well, chipped or blunt blades can often bruise the grass and can cause straw-coloured dieback at the tips, something gardening services like ours can help you avoid. For more advice on this, browse our website and contact our gardening services Ealing team.
Gardening Tip: Reduce Your Lawn Height by a Third
It’s a good idea to aim to reduce the lawn height by only one third each time you mow, and our services can help you do this and avoid a decrease in the health and vigour of the grass.
Landscaping: Cut Grass Fortnightly in Early Spring
When it comes to lawn, grass needs to be cut less frequently in early spring as it grows more slowly at this time of year. Cutting it fortnightly is fine until the weather warms up in late spring, something gardening professionals can help with.
Do Cutting and Landscaping Weekly in Late Spring and Summer
If you mow less frequently you’ll have to cut off more than one third of the grass’s height to keep it looking neat. You may need to mow twice weekly when growth rates peak in late spring.
Gardening Services Tip: Get your Grass Height Right
One of the simple rules to remember is that most grass should be kept at 2.5cm-4cm tall. In patches that get more wear and are heavily used, leave it a little longer, say 4cm-5cm. In shade, you could leave it still longer, at 7cm-8cm. Call our gardening services team in London for more information and assistance.
