Tips on lawn care
Mowing
A lawn is made up of various different types of
grass. If you mow your lawn frequently, those types
surface will grow better. If you seldom cut the grass,
you will enhance the development of high-growing
types of grass and other weeds, such as clover,
daisies ...).
The normal height of a lawn is approx. 4–5 cm. Only
1/3 of the total height should be mown; therefore
cut 7–8 cm long grass to normal height. Preferably
do not cut the lawn shorter than 4 cm, otherwise
the turf will be damaged in a dry period. If the grass
has grown particularly high (for example, during a
holiday period), cut it back to its normal height in
stages.
