At this time of year, I often get complaints that I am cutting the grass "too low". I get where people are coming from.However the problem is generally the fact that, yes, I am taking way too much grass off when I mow, even though i have the mower blades set at the highest possible setting.

And the reason for this is that the lawns are left too long between cuts.

Most lawns in summer should be mowed at least once a week in spring/summer. A healthy buffalo should probably really be done every 3 or 4 days for best results.

Sadly, I think people are either generally misinformed by the turf suppliers or they misinterpret the information.

Letting the grass get too long and taking more than 1/3 of the leaf off stresses the lawn and leads to thatch build up which leads to the problem of the mower wheels sinking deep into the thatch, thus causing the blades to "scalp" the lawn, thus exposing the roots to be exposed to the elements and leading to big problems for the lawn.

The unfortunate thing is that I know I am not doing the best thing for these lawns by leaving them too long between cuts. But when it comes down to affordability, there's really nothing I can do about it other than raise the blades as high as they go and hope I don't cause too much damage.

For more information check this site out. Some good general lawn care advice there.

I'd just like to take a moment, before the mad week ahead, to thank all you awesome people for your support throughout the year. It's been a bit of and up and down year for me with some extended dry periods. But all's well that ends well, I suppose. And the year is ending with a literal bang.

With that in mind, please understand that it is getting difficult to take on any more work around the weather and the rapid growth we are now experiencing.

My first priority is to make sure all of my regular clients are serviced before Christmas. So, my schedule is already pretty much full for the next couple of weeks. But please feel free to give me a call and I will try to fit you in if conditions ( and my aging body 😉 ) allow.

In case I don't get another chance to post, I wish you all the best for a safe and relaxing holiday period...and have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS! ... See MoreSee Less
