ST. CLOUD - Whether you see mowing your lawn as a chore that has to be done or a relaxing way to wind down after a long week at the office there are some tips you should take into consideration this season. If the weather and your individual lawn conditions allow for it, mowing may begin during the last week in April. If your lawn is still too wet, or not yet greened up, hold off until conditions are right.
Before your first mowing be sure to check over your lawn mower. Change the oil and fuel. Clean out the air filter. Sharpen and adjust the blades. Sharp blades will ensure clean cuts on your blades of grass. A cleanly cut blade of grass is less susceptible to disease and is able to better conserve water.
