When mowing the first times it is very important to allow good establishment of the grass. Cut the grass for the first time when it is 40-50 mm high. Trim lightly and gradually lower the blades to an ideal cutting height of 25-30 mm. Mow regularly but try not to remove more than a third of the growth at any time. Do not mow whilst the grass is wet. If the mower does not have a roller then the lawn can be rolled after this first cut. This will encourage lateral growth thus making a more closely knit turf.
The best advice for mowing a lawn is “little and often”. For the last few cuts of the year gradually raise the height of the blades also in dry summer periods. When mowing regularly cuttings can be left on the lawn. With fewer cuttings it is recommended to remove the cuttings and use it for compost or mulch.
