“In mowing, timing is everything. Don't make the rookie mistake of trying to mow wet grass too early in the day. It won't mulch right and can leave clumps on the yard. I recommend mowing in the late afternoon or early evening when the grass is cool and dry. Your lawn will be a winner every time.”
“When you're mowing your lawn, do what the pros do. Follow the 1/3 rule. Never cut more than 1/3 of the grass height and never more than one inch at a time. Cutting too much at once weakens the grass. So follow the 1/3 rule and mow like a champ.”
“Putting greens may look great, but cutting some types of grass too short can hurt your lawn. You'll get weak, thin blades that can't stand up to dry spells and pests. Leaving your grass a bit longer helps keep it cool and moist and looking great.”
“Consistent water is the best strategy for a healthy lawn. About 1 inch per week is great. If you need to water, try to imitate a slow soaking rain. And here's a another tip for your mowing playbook… put glasses around your yard to be sure you're getting the right amount of water.”
“Hey, grass has to eat too. A slow release fertilizer will give you nice slow, even growth. When to fertilize and how much you need depends on the condition of your lawn. So make the right move, and check with your local lawn and garden expert.”
“Did you ever cut a steak with a dull knife? It's the same with mower blades. Keep 'em sharp and they'll cut your grass quickly and cleanly. Dull blades injure the grass. And trust me, you don't want that.”
“Good equipment makes all the difference. Hilly, flat, large or small… whatever lawn you have, Snapper has the right mower for you. So check 'em out and make the right call for you.”
