Dallas Lawn Care

Everyone facing Bermuda grass lawn care shares one thing in common. You have got to mow it. And do you realize that you?ll likely spend at least 40 hours a year behind the mower looking for that manicured look of Bermuda greenliness?

Yet like Kermit the Frog says, it?s not simple being green. That?s because some find mowing the lawn to be a chore best done as infrequently as possible. Yet how ( regularly ) you mow is affecting how your lawn looks in a big fashion. And too many of us are making any amount of common mowing mistakes. Which ends up in potentially fatal damage to the grass we?re trying to lovingly cultivate.

To keep it simple I?ve got five rules of mowing for better Bermuda grass lawn care. If you follow them you?ll have the best chance of gazing over the best looking lawn on the block.

Tip #1 ABC. ABC refers to Always Be Cutting - With a Pointy Blade. Easy enough to remember right? That?s because you need to cut the grass not rip it off. And to cut it properly you want a sharp blade. To most simply insure that you would like to have two blades. Start each spring with a fresh and nicely sharpened one. Then in the middle of the summer replace the first one with nicely sharpened blade #2. A two blade system like this makes it simpler to always be cutting with a sharp blade.

Tip two : Don?t scalp the Bermuda. That?s right. It?s a typical mistake is to cut TOO short which is a massive Bermuda grass lawn care boo-boo. Remember every time you cut the grass you?re stressing it out. So when caring for Bermuda grass never cut more than one 3rd of the blade off at a time.

Tip #3: More trumps less when it comes to mowing. Which is to say it?s better to mow more often to insure you?re not cutting too much off at a time.

Tip #4: Leave the clippings since they're a natural way to feed your grass. Clippings also cut back the amount of water the grass desires to remain green and healthy looking.

Tip #5 Mow dry. Infrequently easier said than done but mowing long grass that?s wet is a sure fire recipe for those dreaded clumps.

There you go. Follow these 5 easy Bermuda grass lawn care tips and greener grass can be yours in no time. No matter what Kermit says.
