With all this hot weather we have been having it’s important not to forget about your lawn. This time of year with the heat it is helpful to mow at the second to the highest setting (2 1/2 to 3 inches long). To insure that you don’t remove too much green, mow off only 1/3 of the blade at a time, since most of the green in your lawn is located in the top portion of the blade. If you mow at these settings you will be helping your lawn by:
- conserving water
- strengthening the root system
- helping to crowd out potential weeds
Happy Mowing!

also dont water too much and too often. let grass grow its roots by looking for water. it will make it stronger and less care at the end of the day
I always wanted to have a lawn in our house. But I think growing grass is hard. But thanks for the tips. Cheers!
My husband just started creating a lawn in our backyard. I helped him from time to time after my work at the office. I’ve been searching for this kind of post. Thanks for the tip.
I heard about not mowing to low… But not water too much to strengthen the roots… Interesting… Thanks for sharing.
Great reminder. These little things tend to be forgotten specially when you don’t have time to go out:-)
