Tips on lawn care
Here are some tips to help you keep your lawn look-
ing healthy and ensure uniform growth.
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different types of
grass. If you mow more frequently, the grown of
strongly-rooting grasses is favoured resulting in firm
turf. If you only rarely cut the grass, you will encour-
age the development of high-growing types of grass
and other weeds, such as clover and daisies.
The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4-5 cm. Only
1/3 of the total height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal height. Preferably
do not cut the lawn shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the
turf will be damaged in a dry period. If the grass has
grown particularly high (e.g. during a holiday period),
cut it back to its normal height in stages.
