• Lawns should be mowed regularly, weekly in warmer months, less in winter months.
• Rule of thumb, only mow 1/3 of leaf blade at anyone time.
• On hot days, lawn mowed during the middle of day, will enjoy to be watered after mowing.
• Sharpen your mower blades as required, check the leaf blade tips, if they are badly damaged & have a brown tinge, it will suggest that your blades needs sharpening or you need to lower your mowing speed.
• Always change the direction you mow your lawn each time you mow
• Clippings can be left on most of the time unless they clump when the lawn is wet or too long like in summer months

Mowing Height
Be prepared for excessive growth of your lawn when first installed, this is common for all types of turf varieties because, the turf has come from our farm without any roots, so the turf will grow madly until they are fully established again. Once your lawn has stabilized, maybe six – twelve months later, you need to set your mowing height, ‘Sir Walter’ 30 – 40 mm in full sun, ‘Sir Walter’ in shade 50-60 mm, wintergreen couch 20-25 mm, blue couch 25 – 35 mm. You may need to mow it a couple of times to achieve this.
