Height:  Our recommendation for your lawn is 2 ½" to 3"   During the hottest months, the higher cut is recommended; grass can be mowed shorter in the cooler months.

Timing: Very early in the morning is ideal. Midday watering, then when the weather is hot and dry, can waste water due to excessicve evaporation. Evening / Nighttime watering tends to promote disease. Keep in mind, the key to effective watering is to give your lawn enought mosture to reach the deep roots of the grass. 

Sharp Blade: Making sure your rotary mower blade is sharp is probably the single most important requirement for proper mowing. A dull blade rips and shreds the grass instead of cutting it. Mowing with a dull edge makes the grass susceptible to several problems – such as brown leaf tips, diseases and insects. A good guideline for blade sharpening is to sharpen your rotary mower blade once each month. Try it! You’ll really notice the difference.
