Tips on lawn care

Here are some tips to help you keep your
lawn looking healthy and ensure uniform
growth:
– Lawns consist of various grass types.
Frequent mowing promotes the growth of
grass, resulting in strong roots and a firm
sward. If you seldom cut the grass, you
will enhance the development of high-
growing types of grass and other weeds,
such as clover, daisies).
– The normal height of a lawn is approx.
4–5 cm. Only one third of the total height
should be mown; therefore cut 7–8 cm
long grass to normal height.
– Try not to cut the grass shorter than 4 cm,
otherwise the lawn will suffer during dry
periods.
– If the grass has grown particularly high
(for example, during a holiday period),
cut it back to its normal height in several
stages.
– When mowing, always overlap the mown
swaths slightly.
