Lawn Mowing

Keep your lawn looking crisp and fresh with Horizon Property Management

Maintaining a regular mowing schedule is crucial for keeping a healthy lawn and achieving the desired look of a well-maintained lawn. Proper mowing techniques, such as at the right height and frequency, can help promote healthy grass growth, prevent weed growth, and minimize the risk of pests and diseases. Mowing your lawn regularly in Lethbridge is vital because regular maintenance is necessary for your grass to be evenly distributed and consistent.

Regular mowing significantly benefits the health of the lawn and brings the desired look of a well-maintained lawn. It’s also important to remember that cutting your grass too short or too often can damage your lawn, so following best practices for mowing and lawn care is essential.

Without proper care, some areas of your lawn might grow stronger and faster while others become thin and sparse, and this disparity will only worsen the longer you leave your grass. Aside from the peace of mind that the look of a well-maintained lawn can bring, regular mowing significantly benefits the health of the lawn. Here in Lethbridge, this is especially true because of the long growing season. Not only does an uneven lawn look bad, but it is a reflection of your lawn’s health

Why regular lawn care and mowing is good for your grass:

Grass blades get more exposure to the sun as they are mowed, helping your grass grow greener and healthier.
Tall grass is the perfect hiding spot and preceding ground for unwanted pests such as ticks, fleas, and other unwanted guests. Regular mowing helps keep grass from growing too tall and will reduce pests in your lawn.
Even if you cannot see them, weed seeds will always be on your lawn. They just may be lying dormant. Frequent mowing helps keep your lawn at a consistent height. Having the right height and not having a lawn that is too short helps protect the soil from overexposure to the sun. Keeping your soil healthy reduces the risk of weeds growing and spreading. With our free courtesy re-visit, rest assured we will ensure you have a weed-free lawn the entire summer! Fertilization application will co-occur as the weed control application to build stronger grassroots and blades and strengthen the lawn against weed growth. Additionally, as one of our most popular services, you can add weed control and fertilization and get full-season weed control and fertilization treatment throughout the summer with guaranteed results. The herbicide application will start in May and occur once every 4 to 6 weeks. Some pesky weeds may need a second application to take full effect. Our comprehensive spring and fall clean-up services are also included in the package to ensure your lawn remains healthy and well-maintained all year round.
As weeds spread, they get harder to deal with, and additional weed control treatments may be needed to repair your grass.
Regular lawn mowing appointments also mean your lawn looks good. A manicured, well-cared-for lawn shows you care about your yard and home. Having an untidy, messy garden is not appealing to look at.
When grass is longer, it takes much longer to cut. It makes your equipment work harder to trim the longer blades of grass, and it can often take multiple mows to get your lawn where you want it to be—resulting in wasted time, resources, and effort.

How often should I mow my lawn, and at what height?

Mowing your lawn once a week during the growing season is recommended. The ideal height for most grass types is around 2.5 to 3 inches. However, it’s important to adjust the cutting height based on the specific grass type to promote healthy growth and prevent scalping.
