Lawn Care & Mowing Information TYPES OF GRASS, CLIMA TE AND CONDITIONS A variety of grasses are commonly grown in household lawns, but two main groups known as cool-season grasses (varieties of bluegrass, ryegrass, and fescue), and warm-season grasses (typically bermuda, buffalo grass, and zoysia varieties) are the most common.
LC-2 Lawn Care & Mowing Information HO W HIGH T O MO W THE GRASS Often cutting height is a matter of personal prefer- ence. Typically, you should mow the grass when it is is between three and five inches high.
LC-3 Lawn Care & Mowing Information Where possible, make one or two passes around the outside of the area discharging the grass INTO the lawn to keep the cut grass off fences and walks. WHEN AND HO W OFTEN T O MO W The time of day and condition of the grass greatly affect the results you’ll get when mowing.
LC-4 Lawn Care & Mowing Information MO WING METHODS Proper Br oadcast Mowing Broadcasting, or side-discharging, disperses fine clip- pings evenly over the entire lawn. Many golf courses use this method. Your mower has a deep dish deck to allow freer circulation of clippings so they are broadcast evenly over the lawn.
LC-5 Lawn Care & Mowing Information TIPS On Dealing With Clippings Clippings are beneficial to your lawn. A common mis- conception about clippings is that they automatically lead to thatch—this is untrue.
LC-6 Lawn Care & Mowing Information Stepped Cutting Stepped cutting is sharp ridges or uneven levels left in the lawn surface. Stepped cutting is usually caused by mower deck damage or misadjustment, or damage to mower blades.
LC-7 Lawn Care & Mowing Information Stingers Stingers are sparse patches of uncut grass left behind the mower. Stingers are usually caused by operator error or poor blade maintenance.
