- Make sure to alternate your mowing directions. This will help mitigate the formation of ruts in the lawn.
- Mow a bit higher as the temperature rises. This will encourage deep root growth and a healthier lawn.
- Keep your business’ mowing equipment in good condition. Make sure that spark plugs, blades, wheels, and of course the engine are operating properly and at peak performance levels.
- Be careful leaving grass clippings on the lawn. While they will contribute fresh organic nutrients into the soil, if they’re too thick they will smother the lawn and cause brown spots.
- Watch the weather. If it’s too hot, don’t mow and instead allow your grass to grow a bit longer than normal.
