Tips on lawn care
Here are some tips to help you
keep your lawn looking healthy and
ensure uniform growth.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various
different types of grass. If you mow
your lawn frequently, those types of
grass which form strong roots and
a firm turf surface will grow better.
If you only rarely cut the grass, you
will encourage the development of
high-growing types of grass and
other weeds, such as clover and
daisies.
The normal height of a lawn is
approx. 4–5 cm. Only 1/3 of the
total height should be mown;
therefore cut 7–8 cm long grass to
normal height.
Preferably do not cut the lawn
shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the
turf will be damaged in a dry period.
If the grass has grown particularly
high (e.g. during a holiday period),
cut it back to its normal height in
stages.
When mowing, always overlap the
mown swaths slightly.
