Horticulture teacher James Kerr at Brownstown Vo Tech School writes on lawn care noting mowing style affects a home's curb appeal. The piece discusses how despite effort, a lawn quickly looks unkempt without proper mowing.
Frequent weekly mowing promotes a robust stand of grass and a deeper green. Avoid mowing when the grass is wet and keep blade edges sharp to prevent tearing. The ideal cutting height is two to two and a half inches, and rotary mowers are the common choice with adjustable wheels. Photosynthesis drives growth and is hindered when blades are cut too short. A well maintained mower, especially a sharp blade, yields better health and color, while a dull blade causes frayed tips and brown patches.
The article notes a brownish lawn can appear after a short period. It recommends sharpening rotary mowers at least every eight working hours. It adds reel mowers are harder to maintain but provide the best cut by mowing rather than simply chopping.
