Many homeowners see mowing the lawn as an unwelcome chore, while others view it as an opportunity to beautify their property. When done properly, mowing supports green, healthy grass, and reduces weeds and bare spots. With a bit of practice, you can even mow eye-pleasing patterns into your lawn!

Readying Your Mower and Your Lawn

• Manual reel mowers are powered only by you pushing them, and are an affordable and environmentally-friendly choice for very small, flat lawns.
• Electric push mowers are quieter and cost less to operate than gas models, but they’re also heavier and more expensive. Corded models in particular are best suited to small lawns (0.25 acres or less).
• Gas walk-behind mowers come in both push-propelled and self-propelled varieties. Either is suitable for lawns up to about 0.5 acres in size.
• Riding mowers cost more than walk-behind models, but will save you time with most lawns over 0.5 acres in size. They aren’t safe for use on steep hillsides, though.
• You can expect to need to sharpen them 1-2 times per year.
• You can remove and sharpen the blades yourself with a few tools and some mechanical know-how, or you can search for lawn mower sharpening near me to find local pros.
• Even if your blades don’t seem to need sharpening, inspect them for damage every 3-4 mows, and brush or rinse away any built-up grass debris on the blades and underside of the mower.
• Measure from the ground to the bottom of your mower’s mowing deck, then from this point up to your blades. This total equals the mowing height.
• Look for mowing guides specific to your lawn type, such as https://www.lowes.com/n/how-to/mow-your-lawn-correctly.
• You can also contact your local agricultural extension program for advice.
• You’ll also need to occasionally change the oil and clear the fuel lines, or have a pro do this routine maintenance for you. Consider giving your mower a tune-up once a year at the beginning of spring.
• So, if you keep your lawn at 2 inches (5.1 cm) high, wait until the grass is 3 inches (7.6 cm) high before mowing it.
• Check the weather forecast for dry weather as well. Wet grass can clog your mower, make compaction in your yard, and make it too slippery to mow safely.
• It’s better to mow in the evening after a dry day. This reduces clumping, lawn damage, and heat stress on the grass (and you). So plan accordingly. [5] X Research source

• Some mowers can eject rocks or other flying debris at dangerous speeds, so it’s always best to keep other people and pets out of the area.
• Put on sunscreen and wear a hat, even on cloudy days or if it’s early or late in the day.
• Be sure to stay hydrated.
• Take breaks if you’re mowing a large lawn, feel overheated, or start to feel tired.

Cutting Your Grass Efficiently

• Mowing around the perimeter first helps you square off the lawn and gives you room to turn as you mow back and forth in rows.
• You may want to go around the perimeter twice in order to create an even wider turning area.
• If you’d have trouble walking up or down the slope on wet grass, then don’t mow up or down it even if the grass is dry.
• Manual push-reel mowers are less dangerous than larger and heavier powered models on slopes, but you could still be injured by one if you slip and fall.
• Instead of mowing a slope, try using a string trimmer, or consider planting or placing something other than grass in that area.
• The amount of overlap needed will depend on your mower’s setup. Generally speaking, though, you want to place your wheels (on one side) just over the cut line you created with the previous row.
• Turning to go back and forth will be easier with a zero-turn-radius mower. Otherwise, pivot on the rear wheel closest to the next row and readjust as needed to get into position.
• Don’t leave clumps of cut grass sitting on your lawn, though — this is more likely to happen if you have a dull blade or if the grass is damp. Either bag your clippings or use a rake to spread the clumps out.
• If you want to reduce your lawn’s thatch, you can use a bag that attaches to your lawnmower to catch the grass clippings. You can add the clippings to your compost pile, use them as mulch, or dispose of them in a curbside trash or composting system.
• Instead, consider alternating from north-south to east-west lines with each subsequent mowing session.
• However, some people do prefer to trim/edge first, so that the abundant clippings created by doing so can be chopped up and spread out by the mower. This is a viable option, but you’ll spend more time trimming and/or edging than necessary, and these methods tend to be harsher on your grass than mowing — e.g., it’s easier to cut the grass far too short in spots.

Creating Lawn Stripes

• Therefore, a traditional back and forth mowing method will create straight lines that alternate between lighter and darker shades (depending on your viewing angle).
• To enhance the striping effect by bending the grass more fully, buy a lawn roller and use it to repeat the pattern you just mowed.
• Finish the job by going around the perimeter one more time at the end, in order to clean up any irregularities caused by your turns.

• For a zig-zag pattern, you have to create a diamond pattern first. You’ll then need to make a repeating series of alternating 90 degree turns each time you mow over 3 diamonds (either light-dark-light or dark-light-dark in shade). This pattern takes some practice, and may be easier if you create a diagram to follow beforehand.

No, if mulching, the grass will not fall back into the lawn well and could clog up the mower, bagging can be a bit more successful if you must mow that day. Also, with the lawn and soil wet, it’s very easy to make ruts in the lawn and compact the soil. Neither are good for a perfect lawn or strong grass.

Lawn Mowing. Everything You Need to Know

What are the best practices for cutting my lawn? And, what techniques do the professionals use to make lawns look so good?

We hear it all the time.

Look, homeowners across America are always looking for the hottest tips to make their lawns look their best. So we wanted to share with you the top ten tips for lawn mowing. Including tips the pros don’t want you to know! Are you ready to improve your lawn mowing techniques? Then let’s dive in!

Tip #1 Maintain The Lawn

Look, this may seem obvious, but I will say it anyway. If you don’t maintain your lawn properly. Your grass won’t look the way you want. No matter how you cut it. So, how do you maintain your lawn properly ? Well, that is a topic onto itself, and we don’t have time to cover that in this article, but you can start here. Assuming you are maintaining your lawn sufficiently, let’s move on to Tip #2!

Tip #2 The 1/3rd Rule. BKA How Much Should you Cut at Once?

According to the pros, the best practice is to never cut more than the top third of the grass blade. Listen, this is by no means a hard and fast rule. In fact, it is nearly impossible to follow all of the time. Unless you have the time to cut the lawn 10 times a month. or at least twice a week, it’s just not going to happen. However, you should still mind how much you are cutting at once. Generally, if you cut the lawn every week at the same setting, your lawn will be perfect… most of the time. Of course. heavy rain and warm temperatures will cause the grass to grow much faster. If you can, you should cut it twice a week in those conditions. And if your lawn ever gets too out of hand you should check out Tip #10.

Tip #3 How Low Should You Mow?

• 1 inch, will have roots around 3 inches deep.
• 2 inches, will have roots around 6 inches deep.
• 3 inches, will have roots around 9 inches deep.

As you can imagine, roots that are 9 inches deep are much more likely to receive nutrients, and survive adverse conditions than roots which are only 3 inches deep.

Of course, the ultimate height will vary between grass varieties, and even the time of year. A general rule of thumb is to leave cut the lawn at about 3 inches in height.

Tip #4 Change the Pattern Each Mow

Most people don’t know this, or even think about it. Cutting the same pattern every week is an easy mistake that many homeowners will make. Especially while striving to make those perfectly straight stripes.

Unless you are push mowing, cutting the same way over and over again can lead to ruts in the yard from the lawn mower constantly driving the same path over and over. Think about it, if you cut your lawn every week, you are running the same path four times a month. This can quickly lead to compaction of the soil where the tires ride.

Changing your mowing each week will not only prevent ruts, it will also prevent your grass from laying in the direction you mow. This will lead to grass which stands straighter, is more evenly cut, and looks better all around.

There are 4 common patterns you can mow your lawn with:

• Left to Right
• Front to Back
• Diagonal Front Right to Back Left
• Diagonal Front Left to Back Right.

Of course, there are many other patterns, but those 4 are the most common. Feel free to experiment, each lawn is different.

Pro Tip on Striping: One of the secrets the pros like to keep to themselves is this…

The direction you cut will determine the shade of the stripe.

A line cut away from you will cause the grass to be darker, a line which was mowed toward your point of view will appear lighter.

That is why it is best practice to alternate your cuts towards and away from your starting point. Unfortunately, if you are using your standard riding mower and not a zero turn, alternating stripes is a challenge, but you will figure something out.

Tip #5 Cut the Lawn When it’s Dry

This is a no brainer. When possible cut the lawn when it is dry. Now, this is by no means a rule that can not be broken. Sometimes you will have no choice but to cut the lawn when it is wet. But, not only is a wet lawn harder to cut, it is more likely to clump up which can make cutting the lawn take longer.

It gets worse. Wet grass can slow down your blades, and your lawn mower will no longer be able to cut at its optimal speed. As grass builds up in the deck, the blades slow down which leads to a mower tearing rather than cutting the grass.

Torn grass is more susceptible to disease, drought, and in my experience it just doesn’t look as nice.

Now, it may come as no surprise, but there will be times when you have to compromise between Tip #2, the 1/3rd rule, and cutting the lawn when it is wet. There will always be times of the year when cutting wet grass is simply inevitable.

When it comes to cutting a wet lawn, or breaking the 1/3rd rule, just mow the wet lawn.

Tip #6 Should You Bag or Mulch Grass Clippings?

There is a lot of debate about whether you should leave the clippings on the lawn, or to bag them up and take them away.

The answer is simple, in my experience the best thing to do is to use a mulching kit on your lawn mower, and leave the clippings on the lawn. A mulching set up on your mower will shred the grass into fine clippings, which will quickly break down and put nutrients back into the soil. This results in more nutrients remaining in the soil, rather than constantly removing a great source of nutrition for your lawn.

Alternatively, if you really don’t want any clippings on the lawn at all, you can bag them up and compost them. You can then use the composted grass clippings as a top dressing in your lawn in late spring or early summer.

Tip #7 Blow Out Clumps of Grass

One of the downsides to leaving the grass in the lawn as you mow, is that it will sometimes clump up.

Here’s the deal, in theory if you are practicing the 1/3rd rule, and cutting the grass when it’s dry. The grass should rarely clump up.

However, in practice, clumping is at times inevitable. It’s true that small clumps of grass will quickly break down and are unlikely to cause a problem. On the other hand large clumps of grass will quickly kill the grass beneath them, and this will cause patches without grass throughout the lawn.

Tip #8 Grow the Right Type of Grass

If you are following all the tips and your lawn still doesn’t look up to your standards. Or you simply have too many clumps in the lawn no matter what you do. Take a look at the type of grass you are mowing.

It’s true, even a lawn of crabgrass can look great when maintained. However, there are times when it is impossible to maintain crab grass or inferior grasses properly.

For example, Crab grass grows thick and quickly and is prone to clumping. Additionally, It will grow so quickly that it will choke out other grasses, and even cause its lower leaves to die off. This will lead to yellow patches in the lawn.

Tip #9 Edge

In my experience, only about half of homeowners take the time to edge the lawn. Most don’t think about it, or simply think it is not that important. But it is.

A photograph looks great on its own, but when you put it into a frame, how much better does it look?

The same is true for your lawn. Sure, a well-maintained lawn looks great without having a proper edge, but it looks so much better when you take the time to create those nice straight edges.

Once you have established a nice edge along your walkways, driveway, curbs, and the roadway. With some practice, they can easily be maintained with a good string trimmer. Or you can save yourself from the learning curve and just purchase an edger.

Tip #10 Catching Up on an Overgrown Lawn

We all get behind, it happens to the best of us.

It’s simple, if you know you won’t be able to cut the lawn for a few weeks, hire a pro!

But, if you didn’t have time to hire someone, and it has already been a few weeks since you last cut the lawn. You may have done some temporary damage to the lawn, but a few weeks of proper maintenance will whip it back into shape.

Bonus Tip #1 Avoid clumps and piles of dead grass

This is really a repeat of Tip #7, but it is more important now than ever. The biggest thing to keep in mind when catching up on an overgrown lawn is the clumps. As you can imagine, when the grass is overgrown, your mower will have to work much harder.

This is one of the few times that I recommend bagging up the clippings, rather than mulching. Do whatever it takes not to leave piles of dead grass on the ground. As these piles will choke out the new growth as it comes in.

Bonus Tip #2 Cut at the highest setting first.

When catching up on an overgrown lawn, start on your mowers highest setting. Then you can gradually lower the deck over time. Lowering the height of the grass a little with each cut. After a few weeks, your lawn will be back to the level it should be, and in most cases in a month or two your lawn will be looking better once again.

Consider Hiring a Professional Lawn Professional!

Overwhelmed? Well it’s no surprise, there is a lot of nuance to maintaining a lawn properly. We hardly even covered the other steps of maintaining the lawn such as aeration and fertilization.

This is shocking, but most people find that it is much cheaper to higher a professional team of lawn care specialists. Rather than buying, renting or maintaining all of the equipment necessary to maintain a lawn, you will often save money by hiring a professional.

While mowing, the iMOW® robotic mower cuts and finely shreds the grass clippings which then fall back onto the lawn, acting as an effective natural fertiliser (known as mulching). Safety measures have been put in place to stop the blade automatically as soon as anyone tries to lift the robotic mower iMOW® off the ground. The manual stop button also offers additional safety.

CENTRAL CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT

Thanks to the ability to alter the cutting height centrally, setting the mower up is a quick and simple process.

The robotic mower iMOW® is a real workhorse and the wide range of robotic mowers on offer is ideal for mowing lawns of all sizes, up to 5,000 m². Even if your lawn is unusually shaped, this can be taken into account and an optimal solution can be found for your lawn layout.

The robotic mower iMOW® is a mulching mower which is why it doesn’t need a grass collector. By cutting the grass into very small pieces, the trimmings disappear back into the lawn and return valuable nutrients to the soil. This ultimately leads to a lush and healthy lawn.

The perimeter wire integrates accessible, low level edges (such as ground-level patios or paths) so that the robotic mower iMOW® cuts the grass cleanly and completely. For hard edges (such as walls and elevated patios), the robotic mower iMOW® is installed so that it can run as close to the edge as possible.

Yes. Provided they are connected within the same wiring loop, a second, separate lawned area may also be mowed as long as it has its own docking area. You simply have to relocate the iMOW® robotic mower.

Speak to your local authorised STIHL iMOW® robotic mower dealer to arrange an initial consultation. Once you have decided on the right robotic mower iMOW® for you, your iMOW® robotic mower dealer will follow your instructions to design a layout plan of the area to be mown. Then, they will lay the perimeter wire and place the docking station in the most suitable part of this area. Your authorised STIHL iMOW® robotic mower dealer will program the mowing plan together with you and you will be able to make any additional adjustments to the robotic mower iMOW®.

The robotic mower iMOW® automatically creates a suitable mowing plan for getting the best possible lawn quality, but it is of course possible to then adapt this plan to your own needs. If you would prefer the robotic mower iMOW® to get to work while you are at home or when you are asleep, you can program it according to your preferences. After this, the robotic mower iMOW® will follow the individual mowing plan all by itself.

When it comes to obstacles such as flower beds, ornamental shrubs, trees and other objects, a loop can easily be installed which will act as an exclusion zone. Whenever the robotic mower iMOW® encounters any unplanned objects such as barbeques or deck chairs, bumper sensors under the hood automatically reverse the mower and send it off in another direction.

The iMOW® robotic mower is equipped with a variety of sensors. As soon as anyone attempts to lift the iMOW® robotic mower, it stops. The robotic mower iMOW® can also be set so that it can only be operated following the entry of a pre-defined PIN code. The manual stop button also offers additional safety.

Yes, by using the display on the RMI 422 or the removable control panel on the RMI 632. The special LCD display is always clearly legible, regardless of the weather conditions.

All robotic mower iMOW® models are equipped with an alarm that is activated whenever the device is lifted. The iMOW® robotic mower can be set so that it can only be operated following the entry of a PIN code. On the C model, you can also choose to receive an e-mail or text message in the event that your device is stolen and then locate it with your mobile device using the iMOW® robotic mower app.
