Mowing the lawn Lawns

Many people have difficulty keeping their lawns under control. A perfect lawn requires a lot of attention, but here are some tips on making it all easier.

  • Cut lawns closely for easier pedestrian or wheelchair access.
  • Use lawn reinforcing materials.
  • Lawns laid level with paths are easier to cut with the lawnmower.
  • Reinforce the lawn for better access in all weathers.
  • Reduce the size of the lawn.
  • Cut a path through the lawn for access, allowing the rest of the grass to grow longer.
  • Having clover, daisies and other weeds in the lawn will keep it greener in very dry weather.
