Mowing Your Lawn
New Lawns:
When mowing for the first time it's important to allow good establishment of the grass.
- Allow a little more length on a new lawn
- Cut the grass for the first time when it's around 4-5 cm high. Trim lightly and gradually lower the blades to an ideal cutting height of 25 - 30mm.
Established Lawns:
- Mow regularly, trying not to remove more than a third of growth at any time.
- Do not mow whilst the grass is wet.
- As warmer months arrive, gradually raise the height of the blades to ensure that enough moisture is left in the leaf to survive tougher conditions.
