Mowing, done properly

The lawn mowing Ottawa grass actually needs.

Why the height of the cut matters

Most Ottawa lawns are a mix of Kentucky bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass. These cool-season grasses stay thickest when they are kept at about 3 inches. Lawn cutting any shorter lets the sun reach the soil, which dries the roots and gives crabgrass and weeds room to start.

We never take off more than about a third of the blade in one cut. That rule is the main reason weekly mowing looks better than a cut every two weeks: the grass is never stressed by one big cut.

Weekly or every two weeks?

In May and June, Ottawa grass can grow more than an inch a week, and weekly cuts are the lawn mowing Ottawa lawns need to keep up. Bi-weekly grass cutting works well for shaded lawns, slower-growing lawns, and the drier weeks of late summer.

You can move from bi-weekly to weekly at any time. Many customers start weekly in spring and ask us to go bi-weekly in August, when the heat slows the grass down.

Mulching versus bagging

Short clippings break down within days and return nitrogen to the soil. Mulching them is better for the lawn and does not cause thatch. We bag only when the grass is very long, or when you ask us to.

Regular cuts keep clippings short enough to mulch, which is one more reason a steady weekly schedule beats waiting until the lawn gets shaggy.
