What is the best way to cut a lawn?

Set your mower to the correct mowing height for your grass type, never remove more than one-third of the grass blade at once, and rotate your mowing direction each week. These three habits form the foundation of proper lawn mowing technique.

How do I mow a lawn with a push mower?

Clear the yard of debris first, set the mowing height correctly, and start with a border pass around the perimeter. Work inward in straight overlapping rows at a steady walking pace for the cleanest and most even result.

Should I leave grass clippings on the lawn?

Yes. Clippings break down quickly and return nitrogen to the soil naturally. This feeds the lawn throughout the growing season without any additional fertilizer and has no negative effect on appearance when done consistently.

How often should I mow my lawn?

Regular mowing once per week during the active growing season keeps grass at the right height and prevents stress from removing too much at once. Frequency can reduce to every ten to fourteen days in slower growth periods.
