If you want your lawn to be the focal point of your garden, read on for a complete guide on how to cut grass properly<\/strong> and give your Gold Coast backyard a professional finish.<\/p>\n Using any power tool that has a sharp motorised propeller moving at high speeds can spell danger\u2014without the correct safety procedures and equipment. Whether it\u2019s from flying debris or the lawnmower itself, save a trip to the hospital with these great tips:<\/p>\n The key to keeping your turf healthy and looking fresh is cutting your grass at the right height. Each different variety of grass\u00a0has an optimal mowing height, so in order to determine what yours is contact our team of Gold Coast gardeners and they\u2019ll be happy to provide some expert advice<\/a>. If you\u2019re unsure what your optimal mowing height is, always ere on the side of caution and raise the level of your mower blade to ensure you don\u2019t scalp your turf.<\/p>\n The key to cutting grass perfectly also depends on the conditions. During cooler winter periods on the Gold Coast, you can afford to put your mower blade down a couple of notches. During times of extreme heat, when your garden is under stress, mowing your grass higher will get the best results.<\/p>\n Top Tip\u2014<\/strong>Never cut away more than 1\/3 of the height of your grass blade at any one time!<\/strong> If your grass has gotten out of hand, don\u2019t be tempted to mow\u00a0it all at once. Stick to this 1\/3 rule and you\u2019ll notice your turf looking healthier in no time.<\/p>\n Again, mowing frequency is all to do with the environmental conditions. It doesn\u2019t take a rocket scientist to realise your lawn will need more regular mowing when your grass is thriving. During summer periods on the Gold Coast your grass will be growing the most<\/a>, so you\u2019ll need to brave the heat in order to keep your grass from getting out of hand.<\/p>\n Want to give your lawn that beautiful MCG look? Instead of mowing in all different directions, give your garden the perfect aesthetic finish by mowing in lines. Keep mowing back and forth until your backyard is complete. Before you know it, your garden will be the envy of the entire neighbourhood.<\/p>\n See video below for extra tips on mowing more visible lines:<\/strong><\/p>\n
