You’ve likely mowed a lawn or two; maybe it was your first chore you had as a kid or the first way you made a little extra spending money. And since we’ve all been around a push mower, many of us think we’ve got mowing under control.
But Texas lawns, like so many other things in Texas, can be pretty big! And the details we need to notice to positively impact them can be conversely small. Lawn maintenance lives in that paradox!
That’s why everyone could benefit from professional help with their lawns. Today Mowing R Us shares the details of what it takes to get a gorgeous healthy property and why you hire the pros for it.
Lawn Maintenance is a Lot
The first thing to understand about lawn maintenance is it’s more than mowing. Mowing is undoubtedly essential, and it’s also the most significant portion of care when it comes to the area covered, but it’s only part of what you need to get it right. Professionals know that edging, trimming, and blowouts matter at least as much as mowing does.Mowing
We’ll still start with mowing, though: at Mowing R Us, we use push mowers. We like the control it gives us and how it gets us closer to what we’re doing. We are careful to mow the grass to the correct height for your grass species and the time of the year. We know the different techniques needed to make cuts in each season properly.
Edging
Edging is one of the biggest differentiators between a mediocre lawn and a beautiful one. Creating a bold outline with an edger, like a work of art, gives your yard a more positive aesthetic and a ‘complete’ look. But edging also helps to keep your lawn and the rest of your landscape healthy by creating a border that is more difficult for your plants’ roots to cross. That keeps the plants of your gardens and the grass out of your hardscaping. Lastly, edging saves time on other landscaping tasks. For example, with a precise edge already established, we spend less time trimming, making us more efficient (and affordable!)Trimming
After we mow and edge, it’s time to get to what the mower missed. That’s what trimming is there to do. In lawn maintenance, the mower is more of a blunt tool, though we are not referring to the sharpness of the blade. Instead, when we say blunt, we mean its ability to provide detailed work. Trimming is for the details a mower will miss. Your yard is likely not perfectly level, and as a result, some spots may have grass that sticks up after a mow. This, unfortunately, happens because the blade may not have cut it all perfectly evenly. So we go back with a trimmer and even out all those spots. We’ll also use trimming to get closer to objects like stones and boulders for a more precise cut.Blowouts
Finally, you don’t want a neat lawn to leave another part of your landscape messy. So we take time to blow out the grass clippings from anywhere they don’t belong. Then you can enjoy your nice lawn without tracking it into your home!
