Know How to Mow

Less grass and proper landscaping is more benefitial for trees and plants, the environment and your budget. But if you do have a lawn, follow these simple care tips.

• Just a little higher.
  For most South Florida turf grasses, at least 2-3 inches is a good height. Keeping your grass this high promotes healthier roots for a greener, pest resistant and drought resistant lawn.
• Don’t be dull.
  Sharp mower blades cut easier and reduce tearing that can weaken the grass.
• Use a mulching mower.
  Some mowers have special blades that chop grass into fine clippings. This will eliminate bags and bags of waste grass and automatically fertilize your soil the natural way!
