Lawn Connections

Mowing
A perfect lawn involves mowing at the right time. Lawn Connections considers several factors such as height, amount of moisture in the ground, grass type, and outside temperature to determine frequency. Typically you never want to cut more than 1/3 of the grass height, this helps prevent damage which can restrict future growth. It also ensures that you're not accumulating too many clippings on the lawn surface preventing oxygen, nutrients, and moisture from getting to the root system.

Trimming
Trimming your lawn (around buildings, flower beds, fences, etc.) can turn an adequate lawn into a beautiful lawn. Trimming removes the grass from areas that are more difficult for your mower to trim.

Edging
Edging will make your lawn the envy of your neighborhood! Sidewalks, driveways, and street curbs, when properly edged, will give your lawn that 'touch of class' that lets everyone know that you're proud of your lawn.

Cutting
Lawn Connections views proper cutting of a lawn as an important component of a lawns nutritional program. Grass clippings release nitrogen as part of the decaying process. The clippings help protect the soil by producing a moisture barrier that helps to reduce evaporation during the summer months. The only precaution is to be sure the clippings are small enough not to produce a hard 'crust' that covers the soil prohibiting rainwater from entering the soil.
