Weekly Lawn Mowing

Have you ever walked passed that lawn with the grass so high you can't even see the fence?
Or lost a ball in a yard that looked like a jungle?
Or have you ever been paid to mow the neighbor's lawn as a kid with grass taller than you?

Mowing your lawn weekly can be hard to keep up with it and maintain. Let's be honest mowing your lawn every 2 weeks can be a pain let alone every week. In this article, we talk about why it's important to mow your lawn every week.

• To Maintain Grass Health  

Do you know that it can actually hurt your lawn if you let your grass get too tall and then cut it short?
Well, it can. If you cut the grass too short it can actually cause your grass to go into hibernation and stop it from growing. A well-maintained lawn can recover faster than a lawn that is not kept up regularly.  Maintaining your lawn can also make you grass stronger which is important when cold weather arrives.

• To Prevent Unwanted Pests and Disease 

If you let your grass get too long it can attract unwanted pests. Bugs, snakes and small animals can hide in tall grass. Bugs love to eat grass and borrow in the soil. You don't want to be walking in your grass in your backyard and be surprised by a nasty bug or even a snake. Not keeping up on your lawn can also cause disease to spread throughout your lawn.

• Curb Appeal 

Keeping your lawn cut and presentable brings curb appeal to your property. If you are looking to sell your property in the future having curb appeal adds value to your property. Buyers are more likely to pay attention to homes that have a well-maintained yard. Every neighborhood has that lawn that is a sight for sore eyes don't let that be your yard this spring or summer.

• Even Growth

A properly mowed lawn looks great. You can help your lawn maintain the look and an even growth by having your lawn mowed weekly. Your lawn can sometimes be uneven and patchy this can prevent that problem. This can also help your lawn get an even amount of sun and water and grow more consistently.

Young shrubbery should be pruned lightly to make them grow more fuller. Over pruning, shrubbery can stunt their growth or cause damage. Older or neglected shrubs may need more extensive pruning.
