Lawn mowing is the process of cutting grass to a uniform height to maintain a neat, healthy, and aesthetically pleasing lawn. Regular mowing helps to promote healthy grass growth, reduce weed development, and prevent the lawn from becoming overgrown or patchy. Proper lawn care also encourages the grass to develop dense, strong roots, which improves its ability to withstand environmental stressors like drought or foot traffic.

Lawn mowing should be done regularly during the growing season, typically once a week in spring and summer, and less frequently in the fall when the grass growth slows down. It's important to mow when the grass is dry, as wet grass can clog the mower and result in uneven cuts. For optimal health, never mow more than one-third of the grass blade’s height at a time, and alternate mowing patterns to avoid compacting the soil or creating ruts. Additionally, mowing in the early morning or late afternoon, when temperatures are cooler, can reduce stress on the lawn.
