Examples of what to do in order to keep your yard neat and tidy.
St. Augustine Grass: When mowing St. Augustine lawn you have to remember it is a warm season perennial grass. St. Augustine grass should be mowed at a height of 2 to 3 inches at all times. If you allow your lawn to grow past 3 inches you risk the possibility of mowing down into the stems. If you mow it too short you cut off the nutrient supply and reduce some of the shade to the turf.
Zoysia Grass: You will not need to mow nearly as often because zoysia doesn’t grow tall quickly. A healthy zoysia lawn should be mowed to a height of 1 1/2″ to 3″. A golden rule when mowing any turf is “never cut more than 1/3 of the leaf height.”
