Is there a wrong way to mow a lawn?

• <div><p>You can mow a lawn the wrong way by cutting off more than ⅓ of the grass's height, causing stress to the lawn and weak roots. If you don't cut your grass often enough, you’ll get weeds and cause damage to your mower and grass. But if you regularly mow your lawn and create straight lines in alternating directions, you’ll see great results.</p></div>

Is it OK to water the lawn in very hot weather?

• <div><p>Yes, it’s acceptable to water the lawn in very hot weather, but you should try to water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for best results. However, watering when the temperature is above 95 degrees is ineffective. If you’re concerned about whether to water your lawn during extreme heat, consult a local lawn care professional who can recommend a watering schedule based on your grass type and climate.</p></div>

What time of day is best to mow lawns?

• <div><p>It’s best to mow your lawn in the early evening on a clear day. Avoid cutting your grass too early in the morning because it might still be damp with dew—and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-mow-wet-grass.htm">mowing your lawn when it’s wet</a> is harder on your grass and your mower. Also, try not to mow during the hottest point of the day because the harsh sunlight and high temperatures can put extra stress on the grass.</p></div>

Zach did a great job on our lawn. He cut, trimmed and blew the clippings so it looked very nice. He was on time and did this on one of the hottest days. I would recommend him for your lawn care.

Lawn Care questions, answered by experts

Costs depend on property size, service frequency, and additional tasks like aeration or overseeding.

You can mow a lawn the wrong way by cutting off more than ⅓ of the grass's height, causing stress to the lawn and weak roots. If you don't cut your grass often enough, you’ll get weeds and cause damage to your mower and grass. But if you regularly mow your lawn and create straight lines in alternating directions, you’ll see great results.

Yes, it’s acceptable to water the lawn in very hot weather, but you should try to water between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m. for best results. However, watering when the temperature is above 95 degrees is ineffective. If you’re concerned about whether to water your lawn during extreme heat, consult a local lawn care professional who can recommend a watering schedule based on your grass type and climate.

It’s best to mow your lawn in the early evening on a clear day. Avoid cutting your grass too early in the morning because it might still be damp with dew—and mowing your lawn when it’s wet is harder on your grass and your mower. Also, try not to mow during the hottest point of the day because the harsh sunlight and high temperatures can put extra stress on the grass.

Whether you're manually watering your lawn with a hose or using an irrigation system, it's always best to water the grass in the morning. It may not seem like it makes a difference, but nighttime is colder and winds are likely to be stronger. Strong winds will push the water droplets away from the grass, and the temperature will be too low for the water to evaporate, and thus get absorbed by the soil. However, watering the lawn during peak afternoon sun does the opposite, and the water evaporates too quickly.
