SHAENEEOKLAWNCARE.COM would like to offer some tips on making your lawn look is best.
Whether you are mowing your lawn yourself or hiring someone to mow it for you one of the biggest mistakes that I see is cutting the lawn too short. I see lawn care companies all the time that cut the lawn as short as possible to make it easier and save time but it makes the lawn look terrible and kills your lawn at the same time.
So what should they be doing? Early in the season is the only time you should be cutting short so that you can have it dethached to remove all the old dead grass so that the new grass gets the sun and moisture it needs.
In the spring 2" should be the shortest you should be cutting the grass and even them you should never Mow the lawn and cut more than 1/3 off the height of the grass. So of you want to keep it at 2"it should be mowed before it reaches more than 3"and so on. Later depending on where you are located later in the summer increasing the height to 2 1/2 to 3" will help you keep your lawn green while everyone elses is Brown and dying.
I hope this helps and good luck with your beautiful lawn.
