When to Mow the Lawn and Grass Cutting Tips
we're going to show you how to mow a
lawn step 1 if you want to make the job
professional as well as a lawn mower you
will also need a garden hoe and a pair
of shears
step to the lawnmower here are a couple
of useful things you could do before you
start mowing to inspect the underside of
the lawnmower always rest it on the oil
sump otherwise you will flood the engine
whatever kind of lawnmower you're using
make sure it's turned off first we're
using a lawnmower with a rotary blade
and roller
it's the roller that produces the
striping effect this combination will be
suitable for nearly all types of lawn
start by checking the blade can move
freely after doing this gently right the
lawnmower ensure you have enough petrol
if you run the engine dry it will damage
the carburetor never fill the tank on
the lawn as any spilt petrol burn the
grass step 3
mowing cut any overgrown patches of
grass first and remove any cats to do
this you will need to adjust the height
of the cutting blade you will have a
lever like this or something very
similar to raise and lower the blade the
longer the grass the higher the blade
should be
now you're ready to start cutting the
entire lawn start at the edge and mow
all the way round one
when you have finished mowing the edge
cause a straight line from one end of
the lawn to the other to achieve a
striped effect you will need to mow
parallel lines back and forth across
your lawn
when turning at the end of a line licked
the blade by leaning on the mower
there should be no gaps in between the
lines
keep an eye out for any large stones or
twigs as these will damage your mower
leave flowers and cement weights they
shouldn't be a problem
empty the mower bag at regular intervals
always switch the engine off before you
do this remove any excess cuttings by
hand from the back of the mower this is
about as full as the mower bag should
get bad got the cutting and tip on to a
compost heap if you have one continue
mowing and parallel lines until the
whole lawn has been cut step 4
edging with a pair of garden shears trim
the edges of the lawn this will make all
the difference
then with a garden hoe gently edged back
the soil around the border of the lawn
this will leave a clean defined edge
done
