Lawn Care Tips
Here are several ways you can help us make your lawn care experience smoother and more efficient.
Before Mowing: Preparing the Lawn
-
Remove Obstacles – Pick up toys, hoses, dog waste, and any debris that could damage the mower or slow down the process.
-
Mark Hidden Objects – If you have sprinkler heads, water shut-off valves, or hidden stumps, mark them with small flags to avoid accidental damage.
-
Keep Lawn Clear of Vehicles & Furniture – Move cars, bikes, patio furniture, and other objects that might block mowing access.
Improving Mowing Efficiency
-
Avoid Overwatering – Wet grass can clog mowers and leave uneven cuts. Water your lawn early in the morning but avoid watering right before mowing.
-
Mulch or Bag Clippings as Needed – If you prefer grass clippings to be bagged instead of left on the lawn, provide clear instructions.
Access & Convenience
-
Provide Easy Access to the Yard – Unlock gates or provide a key if necessary, so the mower doesn’t have to struggle with access.
-
Keep Pets Indoors – Ensure pets are inside while mowing to avoid distractions and potential accidents.Offer a Designated Disposal Spot – If you want clippings or yard waste collected, have a dedicated bin or compost area for disposal.
Bonus Tips for Lawn Health
-
Aerate & Fertilize Seasonally – A well-maintained lawn makes mowing smoother and improves grass growth.
-
Communicate Preferences – Let the mower know if you prefer certain grass heights or specific patterns for mowing.
