Tips on lawn care

Mowing

Lawns consist of various grass

types. Frequent mowing promotes

the growth of grass, resulting in

strong roots and a firm sward. If

you seldom cut the grass, you will

enhance the development of high-

growing types of grass and other

weeds, such as clover, daisies).

The normal height of a lawn

approx.

4–5 cm. Only

of the total

height should be mown; therefore

cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal

height. Try not to cut the grass

shorter than 4 cm, otherwise the

lawn will suffer during dry periods.

If the grass has grown particularly

gh (for example, during a holiday

period), cut it back to its normal

height in several stages.

When mowing, always overlap the

mown

swa

ths slightly.

Mulching (using the

accessories)

The grass is cut into small pieces

(approx. 1 cm) and left to lie on the

lawn. The lawn therefore retains a

lot of nutrients. For an optimum

result always keep the lawn short,
