Tips to Maintain your Lawn Always Beautiful
Cut
4. A careful cut is essential. The first cut
should be done as soon as the grass is
rooted, in order to force its growth and
horizontal expansion. After that, cut it
each time it surpasses 5 to 7 cm height.
Anyway, in warmer seasons, the higher
the grass is, the stronger it will be, once
that it can better keep the soil humidity.
But do not exagerate, or it will loose its
uniformity and beauty.
5. Do not cut the grass when it is too wide,
avoiding gaps and burnt aspect. On the
other hand, frequent cuts tend to weaken the
nutritious reserves of the grass, being more
susceptible to noxious weeds and diseases.
6. Another care that should be taken during
lawn mowing is the cutting direction,
that should be alternated, avoiding soil
compactation. Soil compactation reduces
the oxygen available for the roots and
hampers its normal growth. In some
cases, it may ruin the grass. For instance,
if this time you mow the lawn in North-
South direction, the next one should be
East-West direction, and so on.

7. What should be done with the straw:
leave it on the lawn or take it away?
By one way, as it decays, it renders
back to the soil the nutrients previously
extracted from it. On the other
hand, gathering the straw provides
more aeration and luminosity to the
soil (which are necessary for the
development of the lawn) and the
temperature and humidity are lower,
thus reducing the risks of diseases, and
even improving its aspect. With TRAPP

system, you may choose the best option
for you.
8. Avoid mowing the lawn early in the
morning, when there is still a lot of dew
on it. Besides facilitating the appearance
of diseases, it is also for safety reasons.
9. As a final touch, you may also beautify
your garden alternating the height of
the grass in different strips. TRAPP lawn
mower's easy and quick regulating
system allows you to change the cutting
height without the need of tools. The final
visual effect is the same as we usually see
in soccer fields, i.e., stripes or checkered
designs in different green tones.
