Planning saves time and gives a superior finish

The correct lawn mowing technique can make a big difference in the overall look of your lawn, as well as helping with proper lawn care over time. It's a relatively simple subject so let's have a quick look at the topic and see how the professionals mow lawns to achieve a quality cut in an efficient time frame.

Outline The Lawn

Begin the lawn mowing process by mowing around the perimeter in a clockwise direction. When using a rotary mower, we mow in a clockwise direction because it tends to throw excess green material back onto the lawn, and not onto the path. Often a second outer ring is a good idea as it provides greater room to turn the mower in the next step.
