MOWING YOUR LAWN

A new sod lawn should be mowed for the first time between 10-14 days. Delaying the first cutting allows for to much shading, blade widening and possible sunburn.

Set your lawn mower at its highest setting, lowering a setting each mowing until the lawn is cut at 2 inches. Never remove more that 1/3 of the blade length at any mowing. Weekly mowing is a must during the growing season. Lawn mower blades should always be kept sharp to prevent bruised and torn grass which develop unsightly white blade tops.
