A lush, green lawn is one of the simplest ways to make your garden look inviting, but many homeowners unknowingly damage their grass by cutting it too short. Instead of taking off too much at once, the golden rule is to mow little and often. This approach protects your lawn, keeps it healthier, and gives you a finish you can be proud of.
When grass is cut too low, it puts the plant under stress, weakens the root system, and allows weeds and moss to establish themselves. On the other hand, mowing regularly and only trimming the top third of the blade encourages thicker growth and a vibrant, long-lasting colour. Think of it as training your lawn to grow stronger and denser over time.
Why mowing little and often works:
✅Promotes stronger roots – shallow cuts reduce stress and allow roots to grow deeper.
✅Keeps weeds at bay – a dense lawn naturally shades out invasive plants.
✅Encourages thicker grass – frequent trimming stimulates fresh, healthy growth.
✅Maintains a rich green colour – healthier grass blades keep their lush look longer.
✅Reduces patchiness – prevents bare spots that often happen after scalping the lawn.
Another key benefit of regular mowing is that it saves time and effort in the long run. Instead of battling weeds or reseeding bare patches, you’ll enjoy a neat, consistent lawn that requires less intensive repair work.
