Mowing

Your first mow is a special moment and should take place as soon as the lawn needs it, generally 1-3 weeks after laying.  All you need to do is just take the tips off.  Remember whenever you are mowing never take off more than a third of the leaf blade.

Mowing can take place every 7-14 days during late spring and summer.  During autumn and winter mow every 2-5 weeks or as required.

The mowing height is best kept between 40 – 60mm throughout the year.  Mowing at a higher level will improve drought tolerance and leaf softness as well as shade out weeds and keep the soil cooler, in turn saving water.

If weeds appear, mow them off to prevent them from going to seed.

Any type of mower is suitable for Sir Walter as long as the blades are sharp.

Always remember never mow your Sir Walter too low, about 50mm is ideal.
