The best time to mow

Have you ever wondered what time of day is the best time to mow? Here are a few tips to help you to decide when you should and should not mow your lawn.

The first tip is not to mow your lawn when the grass is still wet. So you would not want to mow your lawn first thing in the morning when the grass is still covered with dew or right after it rains. The dew and rain will weigh down your grass, making it harder to get a straight cut. It could also be dangerous to mow your grass when it’s wet because you could slip on the grass. Another reason to not mow when the lawn is wet is that the wet clippings will not spread. The wet clippings will just clump.

Another tip is to not mow your lawn when you are experiencing long periods of dry spells, or during a drought. Mowing a dry lawn can cause turf stress. You should also not mow your lawn during the heat of the day for the same reason. Not only will the heat cause you to stress, but it will also stress out your lawn.

So the best time of day to mow your lawn is probably late afternoon or early evening. Following these few tips will help you to keep your lawn looking its best.
